A Fishy Story
Two avid fishermen go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading
suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune.
The first day they go fishing, but they don’t catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day,
and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men
catches a fish.

As they’re driving home they’re really depressed.  One guy turns to the other and says, “Do you realize
that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred dollars?”

The other guy says, “Wow! It’s a good thing we didn’t catch any more!”

Excuse me?
One Saturday morning he gets up early, dresses quietly, gets his lunch made, puts on his long johns,
grabs his dog and goes to the garage to hook up his boat to the truck and down to the driveway he goes

Coming out of his garage the rain is pouring down.  There is snow and sleet mixed with rain. The wind is
blowing at over 50mph.

Minutes later he returns to the garage. He comes back into the house. Turns the TV to the weather
channel and he finds it is going to be very bad weather all day long, so he puts his boat back in the garage,
quietly undresses and slips back into bed.

There he cuddles up to his wife’s back, now with a different anticipation and whispers, “The weather
out there is terrible”. To which she sleepily replies, “Yeah, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing
in it?”

Take the Bait
It was a cold winter day, when an old man walked out onto a frozen lake, cut a hole in the ice, dropped
in his fishing line and began waiting for a fish to bite.

He was there for almost an hour without even a nibble when a young boy walked out onto the ice,
cut a hole in the ice not too far from the old man and dropped in his fishing line. It only took about a minute
and WHAM! a Largemouth Bass hit his hook and the boy pulled in the fish.

The old man couldn’t believe it but figured it was just luck. But, the boy dropped in his line and again
within just a few minutes pulled in another one.

This went on and on until finally the old man couldn’t take it any more since he hadn’t caught a
thing all this time.

He went to the boy and said, “Son, I’ve been here for over an hour without even a nibble. You have
been here only a few minutes and have caught about half a dozen fish! How do you do it?”

The boy responded, “Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm.”

“What was that?” the old man asked.

Again the boy responded, “Roo raf roo reep ra rums rarrm.”

“Look,” said the old man, “I can’t understand a word you are saying.”

So, the boy spit into his hand and said, “You have to keep the worms warm!”
