11. Only when they pry my fishing rod from my cold dead hands!

Trout fishing is one of my favorite hobbies, and since i am not a big fish eater, one that my well fed neighbor supports as well :9

but already debunked above.

6. Maybe they meant, "fish with guns"

[havocmom]

7. Friend of my husband's was talking about a local 'cast & blast' where he lives

I envisioned fishing with hand grenades. Silly me; it was a river fishing trip combined with a duck hunt. Frankly, that seemed even more dangerous!

[marmar]

8. That does sound like a bad accident waiting to happen.....

19. Ever spend time in a rural community grocery store during hunting season?

General purchase: 18 pack of beer per person, one loaf of bread, one, maybe two (if small size) packages of lunch meat.

Gunpowder and beer. :scared:

[Atticus]

14. If that wasn't bad enough, I have it on good authority(local am radio) that he's planning to replace

the red M&M's with chunks of braunschweiger!

[NYC_SKP]

15. Yes, it is...lemme see...yes, it's number 17 on the list of rights Obama will take away.

It comes right after taking away our right to Fox news and just before taking away...

...lemme see...

...right before taking away our right to bear Beer Hats.

:sarcasm:



:hi:

[Caretha]

16. You've heard of the Obama moves to take away your guns

Well just watch out buddy! He's coming to get your fishing poles too! Don't let anyone tell you different. He has the Department of In-Land Insecurity watching every pond, lake, small stream and river in America under surveillance, and the moment you flick that 10 lb line with a subversive worm on your hook into the water....you will be dead MEAT.

We & Obama will prosecute you. We will confiscate your bait box, tackle box & any nefarious looking fish catching apparatus you have in your possession.

After that, the government will strip you of any fishing license, boy scout license, boat license or rubber boots license and send you to a re-education camp to straighten out your thinking.

Don't doubt it. We have all your rubber worms and we intend to deprive you of every friggin fishin' freedom you ever had!

18. I took the local Game Warden out fishing on my lake last week

When we got out to the middle of the lake and I lit a stick of Dynamite and threw it out into the water.


He started to say, "Hey, hey, hey you can't do that.


About that time I lit another one and handed it to him and asked him, "What are you want to do, fish or talk?"
