#140509 - 02/12/02 04:45 PM How to say "No" to a helicopter fishing trip.
Dan S. It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck. Registered: 03/07/99 Posts: 16958 Loc: SE Olympia, WA	So bardo calls and asks me to go helicopter fishing. I look at the work schedule and see that it is jammed solid....and the boss is saying "No way can you go tomorrow". So what do I say to bardo? "Thanks for the offer but I can't go." Somebody please shoot me now. And Brad, don't call me from the river tomorrow....OK? I'd hate to have to kill my boss, but if you catch enough tomorrow, I just might be forced into it. Damn, I HATE having a job sometimes. _________________________ She was standin' alone over by the juke box, like she'd something to sell. I said "baby, what's the goin' price?"

Dogfish Poodle Smolt Registered: 05/03/01 Posts: 10878 Loc: McCleary, WA	Yeah, Brad has a nasty habit of calling folks from the river. I usually wait until after I'm done so I can give a complete report. Good luck tomorrow, Brad. Andy _________________________ "Give me the anger, fish! Give me the anger!" They call me POODLE SMOLT!

bardo Returning Adult Registered: 11/21/01 Posts: 304 Loc: union wa	hey dan, this is what you missed today. weather was kinda crappy , but fishing was super. in case you don't remember, this is what the upper quinalt looks like. you screwed yourself by not going, because my wife went instead and she said i gotta take her from now on. she caught a fish on her third cast and she says that steelhead fishing is easy. we created a monster.
