      So a tuna can…? Canned Tuna? Canned Fish?

      “Tuna Fish” is still redundant and doesn’t actually address the can

        Look, Americans are genetically dumb as we all know, but I don’t think Tuna Fish is necessarily a consequence of that affliction in particular. It’s like saying “Sail Fish”, “Sail” is not a fish, it is the canvas you put on boat masts, and “Tuna Fish” is like that I think. It’s a type of fish, of the tuna kind. That said, before I go just let me take another opportunity to state that Americans are genetically dumb as we all know.

              I know this is a bad troll but it’s also just sad that people actually are actually as retarded as you’re pretending to be
