Fish Stories
Two ardent fishermen met on their vacation and began swapping stories about the different places they had fished, the kind of tackle used, the best bait, and finally about some of the fish they had caught. One of them told of a vicious battle he once had with a 100kg salmon.
The other man listened attentively. He frankly admitted he had never caught anything quite that big. However, he told about the time his hook snagged a lantern from the depths of a lake. He said: “the lantern carried a tag proving it was lost back in 1912. But the strangest thing of all was the fact that It was a waterproof lantern and the light was still lit inside of it!”
For a long time the first man said nothing. Then he took one long deep breath and then said to the other man, “I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” he said slowly.
“I’ll take 97kg’s off my fish, if you’ll put out the light in your lantern.”
Professional Animal Trainer
As a professional animal trainer, I was disturbed when my own dog developed a bad habit. Every time I hung my wash out on the clothesline, she would yank it down.
Drastic action was called for.
I put a white kitchen towel on the line and waited. Each time she pulled it off, I scolded her. After two weeks the towel was untouched. Then I hung out a large wash and left to do some errands.
When I came home, my clean clothes were scattered all over the yard. On the line was the white kitchen towel.
