Is there a 12 step program for Fishing?

[Dave B.]

A guy pulls up to a trout stream, parks and gets his gear together. He heads down to the pool above the bridge and seeing an older gent on one side he heads to the opposite side of the stream.

After the two have been quietly fishing for a half hour or so a funeral procession comes rolling down the country road. As it passes over the bridge the old gent removes his hat and holds it to his breast until the procession has passed, then resumes fishing.

Impressed by this apparently random act of respect the other fellow says, "By God sir that was one of the most respectful and honorable gestures I've witnessed in a long time!"

The older gent replies, "Well, I figure it's the least I could do considering next Tuesday would'a been our 50th anniversary."

Footnote; my wife once said if I go fishing once more she's gonna leave me. Ya know, sometimes I really miss that gal!
