Fish Story
Oh. My. God.
I’m working on my laptop — actively typing, so it’s not like it looks like I’m just screwing around (although I was — I was entering a comment on Jim’s journal) — when the DJ on the country station comes in.
John: Hey Chuck, are you a fisherman?
Me: Uh… Not so much, no.
John: Oh. Well, come look at some pictures I brought in of a trip I took with my dad last year.
Me: Ooooookay…
And he proceeds to show me three frigging packets of pictures, photo by photo, with a long involved description of each one. I saw:
- A trout
- Another trout
- His goofy looking kids
- A trout
- A skinny trout
- A fat trout
- His goofy kids again
- His dad
- More trout
- John holding a trout
- A trout
- A fishing pole
- Someone’s foot
- A lake
- A pile of rocks by a lake
- A trout
- A fly
- A trout
- A trout next to a net
- Etc.
Oh my God, I can’t wait to get out of here.
