“Sorry, gave up fishing when I was still a teenager. But have a good time anyway.”
No, no.....see, this is where you make a clever quip about using me for bait, or something like that. That’s how jokes work - you play into the others absurdity by being more absurd.
My joke was how you and I were really fishing buddies - an absurdity, but kind of amusing considering the outrageous dialog of this thread.
I really wasn’t asking whether you fished, or when you stopped fishing.

No, I leave all the absurdity to your posting.

I understood what you were saying and why.
“I really wasn’t asking whether you fished, or when you stopped fishing.”

Could I come, I promise to be a good Baptist and not drink any of your Beer? (if you were Catholic I could get away with it,,,(from an old joke i heard once)
