The fish

What did the fish say when it hit concrete?

'Dam'... another fish story...although not technically 'transformative' laughter is good medicine. I've posted this before, but your 'fish' brought it to mind and it's still a good laugh so here goes!

There is a fish in a lake watching a fly 3 inches above the water. The fish thinks if that fly goes down three inches I'll get it.

Meanwhile on the bank a bear is watching the fish and the fly and thinks, if that fly goes down three inches the fish will jump for the fly and I'll get the fish.

While behind the bear on a hill a hunter is watching everything and thinks that if the fly goes down three inches, the fish will jump for the fly, the bear will go for the fish, and I'll shoot the bear.

Behind the hunter is a mouse. The mouse thinks that if the fly goes down three inches the fish will get the fly, the bear will get the fish, the hunter will get the bear, and I'll get the hunter's cheese.

Now stalking the mouse is a cat, the cat thinks that if the fly goes down three inches the fish will get the fly, the bear will get the fish, the hunter will get the bear, the mouse will get the hunter's cheese and I'll get the mouse...

So the fly goes down three inches and the fish gets the fly, the bear gets the fish, the hunter gets the bear, the mouse gets the cheese, but the cat misses the mouse and falls into the water and drowns.

Now...The moral of the story is for every fly that goes down three inches there is a pussy in a whole lot of trouble.  ;)

I didn't see that one coming, Kristyne. which reminds me...

True story.  A few years back, I had a conversation with a colleague of mine about fishing.   Randy liked to go fishing, so I told him that although I enjoy fishing, I needed someone to put the worm on the hook for me.  (I've always been squeamish about such things.)

Randy went on to tell me, with great patience, of a technique that would surely help me.  He said, "Practice makes perfect.  If you go down to the lake with your rod and put the worm on the hook everyday, little by little, day by day, you'll soon become a master baiter."

I didn't see that one coming, either.  Innocent

lol, got to tell my daughter that one, she fishes with her dad every weekend that their schedules allow, but still doesn't bait her own hook.  (she's 31-it's about time!) And she's an ICU nurse, so she 'handles' lots of stuff worse than itty bitty little worms...

Hugs, Noa-thanks for the laugh, it really is good medicine.
