A young man approaches a fisherman standing in the river…
He waves to the fisherman and says, “Wow, great pole you’ve got there!”
The fisherman smiles, gives a slight nod, and says, “thank you!”
– “And man, that’s some of the coolest tackle I’ve ever seen!”
Smile, nod, “thank you!”
“Some high-quality bait, too.”
Big smile… “thank you!”
The young man peers down into the river… “you know, the fish don’t really come through here this time of year…”
The fisherman: “Yeah, I know.”
\- “Well, what are you fishing for?”
The fisherman shrugs, “Compliments.”
A Snake and a Fisherman
Having arrived at the edge of the river, the fisherman soon realized he had forgotten to bring any bait.
Just then he happened to see a little snake passing by who had caught a worm.
The fisherman snatched up the snake and robbed him of his worm.
Feeling sorry for the little snake with no lunch, he snatched him up again and poured a little beer down his throat.
Then he went about his fishing.
An hour or so later the fisherman felt a tug at his pant leg.

Looking down, he saw the same snake with three more worms in his mouth…
