Going fishin’

Got the RV loaded up, gear packed, and just a few more odds and ends to put together. Me and the Missus are taking a week off to do some camping and fishing. Well, that’s not exactly true. See, she has to attend some business meetings during the day, while I go fishing.

Works for me. See y’all in a week or so.

A woman goes into Walmart to buy a rod and reel. She doesn’t know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the register. There is a Walmart “associate” standing there with dark shades on.

She says, “Excuse me sir… can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?”

He says, “Ma’am I’m blind, but if you drop it on the counter I can tell you everything you need to know about it from the sound it makes.”

She didn’t believe him, but dropped it on the counter anyway.

He says, “That’s a six-foot graphite rod with Zebco 202 reel and 10-pound test line… It’s a good all around rod and reel and it’s $20.00.”

She says, “That’s amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I think it’s just what I’m looking for so I’ll take it.”

He walks behind the counter to the register.

In the meantime the woman passes gas. At first she is embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way he could tell it was her, being blind, he wouldn’t know that she was the only person around.

He rings up the sale and says, “That will be $25.50.”

She says, “But didn’t you say it was $20.00?”

He says, “Yes Ma’am, the rod and reel is $20.00, the duck call is $3.00 and the catfish bait is $2.50.”

  1. Bi-Partisan Political Message

    There are less than eight months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the President of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans.

    To show our solidarity as Americans, let’s all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. It’s time that we all come together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

    If you support the policies and character of John McCain, please drive with your headlights on during the day. If you support Obama or Hillary, please drive with your headlights off at night.

  2. Henh…catfish bait.
    Yeah, Robert D, we definitely need to get that info circulated.

    As for the week off, enjoy the shiite of it nuke, if I was jealous person, and liked the color green, I would do both of them.
    I am just flat out wore out lately with work, and with my family back in my life, I spend so much more time with the daughter and grandson here, as well as a great deal more time on the phone with all them, I just haven’t been in front of this screen very much lately.
    I didn’t get home and in bed last night until 3a.m., and ma’boy woke me up at 8:30a.m. for his breakfast. Then I had to get things ready, as my bud Omar, the one just home from Iraq, came over this afternoon, and we drank a few beers, grilled some chicken, and BS’ed for hours.
    Now, I’m ready to hit the sack, as I have to get up early again tomorrow.

    Enjoy your time off, nuke, and we will keep the home fire burning, and the scum filter clean.

  3. N2l, we expect several posts of Omar’s adventures.

    I probably won’t even check the scum filter.

  4. Oh, and have fun fishin’, Nuke. Don’t let no gators get you.

  5. I’ll try Swampie, he’s just trying to wind down right now. When I made a comment on his going on raids and “capturing” terrorists, he just shook his head, and said, they caught so very many. I hope to nail him down some one day, when he’s ready.
    /please check…I get grossed out sometimes
