I asked the seller a couple of questions several days ago (size, crack), still haven't heard a word. Doesn't smell right...
I asked him questions about the crack 9/5, still awaiting an answer. Smells fishy!

Fowl is pronounced the same as the word "foul" which means "bad". Ducks are considered fowl-birds, so the word-play is expected.
I am afraid I was too worried I had used the word fishy in the wrong sense and confused by the inconsistencies of spelling that I overlooked the pun. Thanks for the explanation, guys.
