Default Dear Abby

Dear Abby,

I have been so blessed in my life. Great parents, great wife and kids, great
job, and great education. When I finally retired, I could hardly wait to
spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little
fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked
fishing.

One day at the Bait &Tackle Shop I got to talking to Sam, the shop owner,
who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became
fishing buddies. The wife refuses to join us, and always complains that I
spend too much time fishing. A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing
trip ever. I caught the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, and only a few
minutes later Sam caught his twin brother! I took a picture of Sam holding
up the two nice bass we caught and showed the picture to my wife, hoping
that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she says she doesn't want me to go
fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just
doesn't like to see me enjoying myself. What should I do Abby? Tell the wife
to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she
insists?

Thanks,
A fisherman

P.S. I have enclosed the picture of Sam showing off the bass we caught.


Dear Fisherman,
Get rid of that narrow minded wife.

Quit fishing, sell the boat, and send me Sam's phone number and address. I
will make the sacrifice to keep her happy and on the Bass.
