> The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and

> "Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!" was the

> The businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand?

>
> Once again the fisherman asked, "And then what will my reward be?"

A quote for the good life.
" There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a bread crumb -- and getting licked in the process."
As for the gentlemen who is fishing, let his day not be interupted by a tight line or the call of fish on. Relax and enjoy the surrondings, then back on the water in search of Mr. Steelhead.
