When I finally retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing.
Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam the shop owner who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said the wife doesn't care about fishing; she not only refuses to join us she always complains that I spend too much time fishing.
A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few minutes later Sam must have caught his twin brother! So I took a picture of Sam holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying myself.
What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?

My wife Sam said that her new fishing buddy, Pat, is openly flaming and has no interest in women other than trading nail polish and doing each other's toe nails. Please keep your boat and keep my Mrs. entertained at least until this next pheasant season is over. Thanks, grouchyoldlimpdude.  |

I'm thinking heart attack or stroke for an old guy like you but you might hold up for a day or 2 of fishing. |

Grouchy, remember the old saying. "It would the undertaker 2 weeks to wipe the smile off my face." I'm in your boat and that is what I feel maybe more than 2 weeks......Bob |

Being a safety guy, I'm glad to see that she was thoughtful enough to have her own personal floatation devices built right in.  |

Hillbilly, like I care! Natural or store bought, them's some darn nice pfd's. That debate makes as much sense to me as my wife telling me that the models in magazines aren't as pretty because they're air-brushed....that guy with the air brush is frickin' Michelangelo then. |

Man, I tried to compliment the o'lady just this morning. I guess I'll never figure out how they "tick"..
She was standing in front of the mirror commenting on herself.
"I look old and my butt looks fat."
I said "Well dear, your eyesight is still near perfect".
...that's when the fight started..... |
