 Do they need jumper cables? If so, do you put the Asian fish in the front
 and the Austrian fish in the back, or does it still depend on which is less
 worn?

They take a barrel full of unwashed anchovies and whatever is caught in the
net with them. Add liberal doses of sea salt. Let sit and pickle for a few
months. Then drain the "sauce" from the bottom via a tap into recycled rum
bottles. Pho your information the stuff taste great with fried fish. And it's
not bad with boiled beef soup. In the later you have to mix the sauce with
lemon juice. I've heard that in a pinch a certain TK in Chicago has used it
as both airfreshener and aftershave. Keeps the kitties close at hand.

Please keep this stuff out of your friendly neighbor's airvents. Otherwise
they may total out their Vanagon (RVC) due to the resulting olfactory assault.
