Day: October 15, 2012

* A man who will sit all day on a stinky pier waiting for the fish to bite will come home and get upset if his wife is 10 minutes late with dinner.

* After my friend James moved to Florida from Massachusetts, he immediately took advantage of the good fishing in the area. After assembling the gear that he’d use for freshwater fishing up north, he settled in a popular spot on the intercoastal waterway, attached his favorite lure to his line and cast it out. Within a minute he caught a beautiful 8 pound fish. The local fishermen gazing in admiration as James brought the big catch ashore and offered it to one of the spectators. Accepting with gratitude, the old man asked, “what kind of bait did you use  to land this beauty?” “My favorite silver spinner,” James responded proudly.  “No”, the old-timer exclaimed. “You can’t catch anything on that. You’ve got to use live shrimp.”

Smarty: “I once had a beard like yours, and when I saw how terrible it looked I immediately cut it off.” Smarter: “I used to have a face like yours, too. And when I saw how terrible it made me look, I immediately grew a beard.”
