ICE FISHING….
July 18th, 2005
It was a cold winter day, when an old man walked out onto a frozen
lake, cut a hole in the ice, dropped in his fishing line and began
waiting for a fish to bite. He was there for almost an hour without
even a nibble when a young boy walked out onto the ice, cut a hole
in the ice not to far from the old man and dropped in his fishing
line. It only took about a minute and WHAM! a Largemouth Bass hit
his hook and the boy pulled in the fish.
The old man couldn’t believe it but figured it was just luck. But,
the boy dropped in his line and again within just a few minutes
pulled in another one. This went on and on until finally the old
man couldn’t take it any more since he hadn’t caught a thing all
this time. He went to the boy and said, “Son, I’ve been here for
over an hour without even a nibble. You have been here only a few
minutes and have caught about half a dozen fish! How do you do it?”
The boy responded, “Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm.”
“What was that?” the old man asked.
Again the boy responded, “Roo raf roo reep ra rums rarrm.”
“Look,” said the old man, “I can’t understand a word you are saying.”
So, the boy spit a glob into his hand and said, “You have to keep the
worms warm!”
