This Week's Attempt At Humor
Catch and Release - A conservation motion that happens most often right
before the local Fish and Game officer pulls over a boat that has caught
over it's limit.
Hook - (1) A curved piece of metal used to catch fish. (2) A clever
advertisement to entice a fisherman to spend his life savings on a new rod
and reel. (3) The punch administered by said fisherman's wife after he
spends their life savings (see also, Right Hook, Left Hook).
Line - Something you give your coworkers when they ask on Monday how your
fishing went the past weekend.
Lure - An object that is semi-enticing to fish, but will drive an angler
into such a frenzy that he will charge his credit card to the limit before
exiting the tackle shop.
Reel - A weighted object that causes a rod to sink quickly when dropped
overboard.
Rod - An attractively painted length of fiberglass that keeps an angler
from ever getting too close to a fish.
School - A grouping in which fish are taught to avoid your $29.99 lures
and hold out for spam instead.
Tackle - What your last catch did to you as you reeled him in, but just
before he wrestled free and jumped back overboard.
Tackle Box - A box shaped alarmingly like your comprehensive first aid
kit. Only a tackle box contains many sharp objects, so that when you reach
in the wrong box blindly to get a Band Aid, you soon find that you need
more than one.
Test - (1) The amount of strength a fishing line affords an angler when
fighting fish in a specific weight range. (2) A measure of your
creativity in blaming "that darn line" for once again losing the fish.

Sandy began a job as an elementary school counselor and she was eager to
help. One day during recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one
side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer
at the other.
Sandy approached and asked if she was all right.
The girl said she was.
A little while later, however, Sandy noticed the girl was in the same spot,
still by herself.
Approaching again, Sandy offered, "Would you like me to be your friend?"
The girl hesitated, then said, "Okay," looking at the woman suspiciously.
Feeling she was making progress, Sandy then asked, "Why are you standing here
all alone?"
"Because," the little girl said with great exasperation, "I'm the goalie!"
