Back to page topMy husband can't wait. The list of needed stuff for the boat gets longer as he gets prepared. I just need my special hooks and a minnow. We both really look forward to not only fishing but just enjoying the lake.

Back to page topU-betcha. Ready to fish! I got my Sturgeon speargun, night vision goggles, gill nets, electro-shocker, multiple long line catfish hooks and dynamite with waterproof fuses ready for the week before opening day (less compitition). All I need now is bail money and a sympathetic jury of my peers . . .

Back to page topWe are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.
A word to the wise ain't necessary -- it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
The two most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.

Back to page topAn American was ambushed by a Canadian game warden on the north shore of Rainy Lake. The Int’l Falls man was lugging two buckets of bass. The cheese head, (sporting a gilly suit) jumped up demanding, "You have special exemptions or what? For all of those fish!"
"No, sir. These are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?"
"Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let ‘em swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"
"Oh yeah? Here, I'll show you. It really works."
"Okay, I've GOT to see this!" The game warden was curious now and allowed the crazy American to pour all ten smallmouths back into the lake. After several minutes, the warden turned to the Falls man and said, "Well?"
"Well, What?"
"When are you going to call them back?"
"Call who back?" the Minnesotan asked.
"The FISH!"
"What fish?" . . .

Back to page topNice piece but it contains a factual error. Cheeseheads catch and eat perch. Period. That's one of the ways we can tell the difference between a Minnesotan and a Cheesehead. The other is that they tend to inhale all the time.
Fine Easter dinner at the Holiday Inn. Over 300 people had Easter Dinner in the Inn; doesn't anybody stay at home anymore?

Back to page topThat is a cute story, Mongo. Oops, I mean "ognoM". I simply can NOT wait to see the sparkle of the sunshine on the water. Or those pesky gulls just waiting for a minnow (or a piece of junk food from one of my kids). The smells of summer: Ahh, the clean scent of the humid air. The squished worms on the bottom of the boat. The coconutty smell of sunblock, along with the warmth of the sun. It is all sooo close! Just 2 more snowstorms, is it?
