There are a fair number of fables about wish-granting goldfish.

Thank you, Mr. Fout. I've heard of this fable before but I'm too thick to understand what this has to do with permits. Perhaps you can explain it to me as though I've been vaccinated?

By the way, Fout is a great name, are you by chance any relation to Greg Fout, the brilliant jazz musician? I believe he's from London.

No idea. Never heard of him. I'm American, wherein the vast majority of Fouts are from a small region in Ohio. The name is originally Swiss German. The Dutch think it's hilarious, as there it means "error".

The fable has nothing to do with permits, and everything to do with wasting a wish on something superfluous.

Okay, I never heard the name before and I once lived in Canton and then the Muskingum Valley in Ohio. Oh well, thanks for the info.
