Upon reaching the fish stand, Schell instructed one of the fishmongers to pitch a fish at the former NBA superstar, which, to everyone’s relief, Bradley easily caught. But when our cocky mayor insisted Bradley keep his catch as a souvenir, Bradley insisted on paying for the large, expensive fish. Under the gun, the fishworkers assured Bradley that the fish was on the house, inspiring Schell to announce that he was paying for the fish, and that the workers should put the price of the fish on his tab. “Mr. Mayor,” said one heroic fishmonger, “after WTO, you no longer have a tab in this market.” Schell turned beet red; Bradley did his best to ignore the slam; and a good time was had by all.
