Dream or not, tell me more about this fishing with a machine gun... ;-)
Would seem to be more time effective than the old style bait, toss, wait method...
Good afternoon, y'all!
I heard a story one time about a real effective fishing method.
It seems Joe Bob was out fishing one fine morning and caught himself a nice bucket full of crappie. He was just putting his gear into the car when the game warden came by. “Looks like a nice catch, Joe Bob. I’m sure you have a license for these fish and I haven’t just caught you red-handed.”
Now, Joe Bob didn’t have a license, but he was a rather quick thinker, so he said. “I ain’t been fishing, Warden. I just like to come out here and sit. When I do, I put a bucket beside me and the fish just jump into it, sometimes.”
“You just sit here minding your own business and the fish just jump into your bucket?” the game warden asked.
“Yep, that’s about the size of it,” Joe Bob responded.
“You don’t expect me to believe that cockamamie story, do you?”
“Now, Warden. I wouldn’t lie to you. It really doesn’t take long at all, but your bucket can’t be too full. You just let me toss these fish into the lake and I’ll give you a demonstration.”
“This I have to see,” the warden said. So he stood back while Joe Bob tossed the fish into the lake. Joe Bob quietly turned and continued packing the gear.”
“Well?” the warden asked.
“Well what?” Joe Bob replied.
“Ain’t you going to show me how the fish just jump into the bucket?”
Joe Bob looked at him innocently and said, “What fish?”
The fish were about 3” long, and they assembled in large schools. Anoreth said she had “fished” for them with a machine gun in Thailand, and she insisted that they were also native to Missouri. My grandfather (who was keeping a saloon in the dream, although he was a doctor in real life) said he’d never seen them, but I told Anoreth she should look them up on her Smartphone and show him, and then he would give her the machine gun, which was on William F. Buckley’s speedboat.
An excellent method of cleaning the little critters and readying them for pan frying.
