Yeah, but you met *me*, which is regarded in some cultures as uplifting and

karma this.

You already did. Every time you think of it, you feel good.

Well, yeah, a little bit. But, I'd probably feel better if I'd given him
ALL of my fishing stuff.......um......and my money........and the
car.......and Cullen......and Becky.

What more could you desire? Apart of course from gainful employment,
diverse phone calls from famous and beautiful women, and fewer zits?

Hm.......

I guess it's not the phone calls so much.......uh......would home visits be
too much to ask?

Wolfgang
who's pretty sure he'd like that. :)

Nah, that was another job.........um.......hm.......I suppose they COULD
have been lying about the no money thingy. I mean, they DID put up a new
$40,000,000 (not 6000) building right after that. :(

Sure, but that was so brief it was like two ****s passing in the night.

There are so many things that are too much to ask. Usually best not to even
consider asking, a refusal always offends.

that I met a lot of gentlemen on the stream. No one was nasty, except as a
joke.

I asked one person which fly he was using, and he replied, "None of your
f-in' business!" I said, "That's what it's called?" He said "Yep!"


Your response was perfect. Especially if said with a smile.

Another guy was stomping what looked like a large olive leech in a mud
puddle to get it wet. I went over to take a look. He said "Some people might
take offence to you even watching what I'm doing." It was said with a smile.

Generally, you are correct. ROFF is a helpful, friendly bunch. Once you
strip away the bull****, anger, resentment, penis envy, little-man
syndrome, big-man syndrome, testosterone spikes, mean-spirited
belittlement, newbie-whacking, and opinionated crap, we're just warm,
cuddly little teddy bears.

At one time, the term "Angler", was practically synonymous with the term,
"Gentleman". Difficult to say when this started to change. However this may
be, nowadays one can certainly not simply assume it to be so.

I'm from the other side of the tracks, where the word, "angler" was
more frequently associated with the word, "poacher." ;-)

But the same sense of honour, if that's the right word, and a climate
of helpfulness prevailed.
