Eekkkkkkkk..... :scared
brings back memories...
At one time I was really into fishing....long story short. I had bugged this buddy of mine to come up fishing with us one time when he wasn't playing his music. Well he and another guy didn't know shit about fishing so I was giving them a few pointers. Well after I had got them set up I had just went to cast out when my buddy's friend stepped in front of me. I had stopped the cast part way only to bring it back like a whip and as I did that it the hook imbedded in my buddy's wool toque. I had said "fvck good thing I didn't get you in the eye" As he went to take off his toque his eyelid went with it..... :scared The hook had embedded in his eyelid just under the eyebrow. As I have cut a hook out of myself before and re-threaded it backwards I thought we could do the same here but no way as it looked to dangerous. We had to travel 19 miles to the closest hospital with him holding this dangling BIG SPOON, (a gold Williams Warlber for those who fish) from his eye and wool toque. Funny thing also was that his last name was Williams. Not that it matters but he was also a black guy and when he was being checked in at the hospital I had said to him in front of everyone "you black guys wear your jewellry anywhere"..... :142smilie He loved it.... :142smilie
we couldn't stop laughing....He played base guitar and I told him he should think about wearing the "Williams Warbler" in all his gigs....Last I spoke to him he was in Detroit and he wasn't fishing... :shrug:

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"
The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas." The boss liked the kid so he gave him the job.
"You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did." His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down.
"How many sales did you make today?"
Kid says, "One."
Boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?"
Kid says "$201,237.64."
Boss says "201,237.64?? What the heck did you sell?"
Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod.Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat; we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Mercedes would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him an Escalade."
The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?"
Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing."
