A Guy Walks Up To Me In A Bar …
And says,
“I fish for a living.”
Choose one of the following responses:
A.) Is that code for something?
B.) That explains a lot.
C.) And I’m Mrs. Paul.
D.) Does that line ever work?
(Since this is something I personally consider serious, I’m not doing any cheap, news media tricks this time of displaying only the teaser on the front page to force you to read the entire post to find out its gist. However, I will return to using said irritating practice with subsequent posts. ๐ ) Whew…
So I’m walking to my office from the parking structure yesterday … having worked my butt off the entire day and feeling totally exhausted … And I’m sorta, kinda, maybe … yeah, right … totally … cutting through this constructioooon zone … ’cause it’s a shorter walk AND I’m checking out these two dudes working…
A few months ago … A friend of mine asked me an incredibly good question, Unfortunately … He asked it of me via e-mail and I’m just getting around to answering it, My delay costing me an evening of drinks in penance. Anyways, I figured I’d share the answer to the question here … Because…
One of the best things about living in my home state … Is the opportunity to purchase Vernor’s. I loooooooove Vernor’s. It’s the world’s best ginger ale … With a super, kick-butt bite. When I’m sick, I make my special get better soon drink … 1/2 Vernor’s, 1/2 lots of pulp orange juice. Sometimes I…
I liked how I used to sign my old name … My signature in the days of boy was great, Totally illegible, Yet distinctive. People knew it was my signature, Even though it looked nothing like the name Joe Hairdy. (Feel free to infer what you want about my psyche from such a handwriting trait,…
Happy Birthday to You !! Happy Birthday to You !! Happy Birthday to The United States of America !! Happy Birthday to You !! Wow … I had fun today ! I went with my mom and dad to my aunt and uncle’s house for their annual 4th of July bash … gawdawful quantities of…

What are you saying, Greg? That I gained some weight ?? LOL ๐
No, I haven’t updated that thing since I moved from the late 30’s to early 40’s. I suppose that some of the favorites might change and my hobbies too. I’ll take a look and tweak it ! Thanks !
Thanks Greg ! I try to publish a less obvious, more detailed pic of my noggin’ every now and then for those who like to get a better view to evaluate of my face whakin’ results. For those so reading, I post them based on viewer requests, so let me know if there’s an angle you’d like to see.
Yeah, I know … the Catch and Release line was dangerous to use. I was well aware of that and thought twice before tossing it out. However, I was at the bar in the first place because I had been asked to meet someone there. Unfortunately for me, I got stood up …
Anyways, I was fortunate that the guy I used it on was apparently enjoying the banter just as much as I, kept me company for a while and was a very nice guy overall …
Still … it’s not a line I will most likely ever use again,
Though doubtful I’d ever find it topical again either ! lol ๐
Amy –
“about Mwah” – is that up to date?
(1) “high five,” “gimmie five,” “low five,” “five on the side” – talk about being “so yesterday, dad!” (Alexandra Flagg) That’s not cool; that’s antique!
(2) “So, are you a Catch and release man or do you eat what you catch?” – that was such a good come-back — but, from a guy’s perspective, it’s an almost ‘unconditional’ come-on. Your flirting is gonna get you …well, satisfied….but it could also get you in trouble. This isn’t hust me: ask Shaft, too. Please be careful! There are some real violent, macho, dickwads out there.
(3) BTW – I noticed the new photos on page one of your website –
(a) I always wondered if anyone ever used those books in lawyers offices anymore, with the net out there encompasing so much. I guess they do at least make good photo backdrops of women pretending to do work.
(b) I hadn’t seen a glittering, new, clear, direct facial (re: that profile/silhouette) of you in quite a few months – you well-and-truly present beautifully!
Actually, he was quite the sweetie. Very entertaining, good taste in music and he certainly knew how to engage in a conversation. The only disturbing trait was a David Puddy-like overuse of the “High Five”.
Your reply … priceless. ๐
If he was a dweeb you could give him the eye, up and down, and opine you guess he’s risen in his craft beyond journeyman baiter.
Yes … the line was actually served on me recently. There’s no way I could ever come up with that one on my own !! ๐
I won’t tell you which answer I went with just yet, though I will say …
It didn’t take me long to get to the point where I tossed back the query …
Editor’s Note: Read at your own risk. Serious double entendre to follow.
“So, are you a Catch and Release man or do you eat what you catch?“
I think there a couple more good answers you could give here!
E) what a terrible hook that line is.
You HAVE to go with the “is that code for something”…Its more open ended then the other three responses…and it will get the conversation going (at least if you want it to!)
So…was this line served to you in a bar recently?
