but of course i was a clown once too!
i'll never forget this - quick story:
me and my buddy Ray are about to cross route
9
the carling black label brewery was across the street
and the fishing spot was most excellent (charles river)
we were already hammered on Vodka
the hide the tango bottle in the tall boot trick had worked like a charm
and this totally in front of ray's dad who was a town cop.
well, we're standing there waiting to cross
cars are wiz-ing by and there seems no end to it...
we're starting to lean in a bit hoping to make a Run/dash for the other side
and ALONG comes this truck doing like 60 mph
and he takes the front half of our rods right off clean
i mean all we had left practically was the handles
and we're standing their just horrified looking down at what was now left
in disbelief totally speechless!
then it struck us.....just how ultimately
funny it was
and we started laughin our A$$'s off uncontrollably.
no fishin for awhile after that...had to get new zebco rods! Lol
