My sweetie assures me that the only way to properly enjoy fishing is to work at it diligently--but forget to put the hook on the end of the line.
Pa, on the other hand, although never an enthusiastic sportsman, decided that a bit of relaxation was his due and accordingly borrowed a friend's cabin for a fishing trip. As he was loading his gear for his trip home, a friendly fellow ambled up and asked,
"Any luck today?"
"No," replied Pa. "Today was poor. But yesterday, I caught sixteen fish before lunch, and another dozen in the afternoon. Best fish'in day I've ever had."
"No kidding?" the stranger inquired. "Do you know who I am?"
"No," said Pa. "Ain't sure I'm especially interested."
"I'm the game warden," the stranger replied.
"Oh, well," Pa went on, pulling himself up to his full height. "And I suppose you have no idea who I AM, do you?"
"No, I don't!"
"I, young man, and decidedly the biggest liar in this county."
