Okay, Was It Something I Said?
Mrs. Crafty is helping me do - alright, make that she's doing - the website for our new company The Angler's Art and yesterday she's working on a page called Our Mission Statement and asks me what I want for text on the page.
So I tell her go ahead and just put in some dummy text until I get the copy finished, whatever you want to put there.
I look over and on the page is the text:
"I hope this finally makes the SOB happy. For God's sake, will somebody please buy something from the old bastard."
Jeez...am I really that bad before my second pot of coffee in the morning?

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Statement:
"I hope this finally makes the SOB happy. For God's sake, will somebody please buy something from the old bastard."
Translation:
"If he thinks I'm going to sit in front of this damn computer all day he has another thing coming. I deserve an all expense paid day at the mall, a wild night on the town with the Iron Mike gang, and a nice dinner and a movie. Plus, I need to restock my private stash in the sock drawer. In addition the weather is going to break this week which will be great for a spring cleanup in the garden. This year I want a fish pond with some of those real expensive koi and a turtle......"

Geez, Mike, did she manage to tell you all that the other day before she let me know it was you on the phone? 
Tell ya the truth, she's gonna get all that and more if I can just get a little ahead of the game.
God knows, my bride has worked hard enough on this to deserve it - of course, so far the only real bonus is she gets to spend every day in the office with me but we've been doing that for years anyway
Hmmmm....wait a minute, maybe that has something to do with it. 
Well, she said she'd teach me Go-Live if I teach her to fish - let's see if she makes good on her promise.
Maybe Mrs. Crafty will register and tell her side of the story some day....  |

BTW, if she wants to keep a little money under her socks and delicates in the dresser drawer, I don't care. Just as long as she's not spending the Crafty family fortune on more plants for the yard - the ones she had last year are perfectly good, they'll probably come right back to life if she waters them a little.
Oops, gotta go, I hear my little dove headin' for the office  |

Ya know, I've had a change of heart - the fishpond is okay as long as there's trout in it.
Fishing problem? Hey, I don't have no stinkin' fishing problem.  |
