“Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant? I’m halfway through my fishburger…”

SeaWorld is an American theme park chain with headquarters in Orlando, Florida. There are several restaurants; the Lakeside Grill sells a crispy fish sandwich.
 
“Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant? I’m halfway through my fishburger and I realize, ‘Oh my God—I could be eating a slow learner!’ -LYNDA MONTGOMERY” was printed in the book That’s Funny!:
A compendium of over 1,000 great jokes from today’s hottest comedians
(1996) by Michael Cader. The joke has been frequently told, sometimes with “fishburger” and other times with “fish sandwich.”
