  1. Since we're making fun of our ethnicities How come Italian's don't like Jehovah witnesses? They don't like any witnesses What's the difference between an Italian grandmother and an elephant? 50 pounds and a black dress. How does an Italian get into an honest business? Usually through the skylight. What do you get when you cross an Italian and a Black Man? A guy who makes you an offer you can t understand. At the World Women's Conference, the first speaker from England stood up: "At last year's conference we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. Well after the conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb." The crowd cheered. The second speaker from America stood up: "After last year's conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had done not only his own washing but my washing as well." The crowd cheered. The third speaker from Italy stood up: "After last year's conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his shopping and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I could see a little bit out of my left eye."
  2. He has to be. Anyone who spells fish "ghoti" is certainly not from these parts.
  3. OP doesn't have an on call job. His boss was trying to fill a spot. I'd be po'd too. I have an on call job. I have my on call schedule 3 months in advance. I make my plans around my schedule, and if something comes up it is my responsibility to get a replacement. If it's an emergency the boss will get a replacement, but emergencys that prevent people from working don't usually occur at 12:45am. The boss was looking out for his best interest because if no one would fill the position the boss would have to do the work himself. Bassn Blvd, If the phone is off OP will miss the booty calls.
  4. My son can tell when I get a bite on a finesse bait. He says I get kind of a blank, stupid look on my face before I set the hook.
  5. and some fine jokes at that
  6. That sounds like a Wisconsin joke.
  7. Maybe before trying to learn different lures they should be schooled in identifying different types of cover and structure and why you should choose one lure over another one. Or just teach them to use a jig
  8. Rhino, Where do you buy your scarves?
  9. You didn't place last. The guys with zeros placed last. Keep at it. Find a couple good guys in your club who are willing to share what works and what doesn't.
  10. On my home water probably less than a dozen. I have divided the water in half. Will fish either north or south, but rarely both, to have more time fishing and less time running. Depending on fishing I will hit some spots twice.
  11. I guess I won't be going to virginia. Didn't know that. In IL you just need the proper safety equiptment. Coast guard classes are available but not required.
  12. Don't feel bad. Totally unrelated. I get a service call today. A/C is not working in a large mfg plant in the tool & die room. Between the college educated engineers, plant maintenance, and tool and die makers who are running million dollar machinery, no one could figure out for the A/C to work you need to change the thermostat from heat to cool.
  13. My first "real" tournament. Hmmmm. The only 2 things I really remember is my son saying to me immediatly after we launched is "Dad, you've got the crappiest boat here." , and there was a guy in the tourney who's truck was painted identical to his boat. I know we caught fish but couldn't tell you anymore. Couldn't have been too bad. Still doing it 8 years later with the same crappy boat.
  14. I used to enjoy the backseat a '72 LTD He didn't mention the Lincoln today. I asked him a bunch of questions, when we were looking, to make him think it's his decision not to buy the Lincoln. Thing is, it's his money. I want to make sure he doesn't get screwed, but I can sympathize. The first car I paid for was a Firebird. Had to impress the ladies.
  15. No, but unlike you, I'm not a sasquatch.
  16. Not too shabby.
  17. You could always come to IL and catch 13" bass.
  18. Let me rephrase myself. Get jumped. Show up to look at the car with cash on hand. Get jumped. Now cash is in his hand and there is no car. Edit. Only the criminals are allowed to carry guns in IL
  19. He doesn't want a Civic On a side note, my son is also car shopping. He's eyeng out a Nissan Altima. I told him to look at Honda Accords also. He doesn't like Accords. What comes around goes around. I sound like my father.
  20. He found the lincoln on CL Problem is recently in our area is there have been a # of people getting jacked trying to buy cars thru CL. The older I get the more skeptical I am.
  21. Every car he was drawn to was a Caddy, Impala, or the like. He'd buy that Crown Vic in a heartbeat. I kept messing with him. "You're looking for a pimpmobile" then I dropped the word Hoopdee (sp) "How do you know what hoopdee means?" "You'd be suprised at what I know" The Lincoln has a 302. Minimal oil leaks. Needs an exhaust at least from the cat back. The guy is the 2nd owner and has all the maintenance records from the first owner. He says he bought it to restore it but lost his job and had a kid blah blah blah. Body and frame were solid except for the trunk. Holes rusting thru above the wheel wells. I think it may be a decent buy but he's going to lose anything he puts into it.
  22. Ever hear of photoshop? You can make that fish whole again.
  23. 5k could buy you alot of car. and does anyone pay cash anymore? Went car shopping with the ol' lady and her son today for his first car. Would you believe the nicest car we found(private seller) was a 1984 Lincoln Town Car. 44k miles for 3800 obo.Under no circumstances does she want him to have that car. "It's too big""It doesn't have airbags""It won't fit in parking spots". My concerns are availability of parts if he wrecks it and gas mileage. Every car lot we went to either didn't have cars under 5k or if they did the selection was p!$ poor.If the body was nice the car had 150k+. If it had under 100k the cars looked like they had been sitting in the bottom of a lake or went thru a tornado. Rant over.
  24. Everything on the cranking battery. (big motor, depth finder, radio, bilge, livewell, etc) Trolling motor on its own battery(s) Make sure everything is fused properly or is on circuit breakers.
