From the Campground

Yesterday I purchased 2 wood rockers Hand Crafted here in Tennessee. And today was staining day.

While working away I received a Phone call about Trout fishing. Went something like this after I had gone thru the spiel of hours, price, how it all works, given all the details, etc:

Him: What y’all charge for fish?
Me: $4 per pound
Him: What if I throw it back ?
Me: Sir, Since they are all Rainbow trout and they die when humans touch them,
there are no throw-backs. You get to keep what what you catch and have a great Trout Dinner.
Him: But I don’t want no trout for dinner
Me: Well, maybe you could just freeze the fish for another time or you know someone special who would enjoy it.
Him: What if I wear gloves and don’t touch ‘em ?
Me: No sir, the trout would still have a hook in it’s mouth and that would kill it.
Him: What if I caught it, and you don’t see me before I toss it back? Y’all can’t prove I done catch one.
Me: Well, somebody is at the Trout farm with folks who are fishing at all times.
Him: If I wear gloves and take the hook out real nice like, then is it free?
Me: No sir, there is no free fishing .
Him: Well, S***, Then why’s y’all in business ?
Me: ( In my mind- do I explain about the concept of being in business to make a living?? Answer: NO )

Me out loud: Gee sir, I’m sorry we have disappointed you.
Him: Yup, you sure ain’t goin’ a be around in business for long being like that.

Click went the phone. Right after I stop laughing, I’ll go back to work.
