A couple of months ago, I stopped in a small town sporting goods store for some tippett. This place keeps it behind the counter, so you have to have a salesperson help you. I ask the kid behind the counter for a spool of Umpqua 5x. He asks if I've tried the RIO stuff ($2 more than what I asked for). Yes, but I prefer the Umpqua. "What about the FrogHair? It's the best stuff out there!" (and $2 more than the RIO). "Yep, I've tried it. It sucked. I'll take the Umpqua." He grabs it, and says "Yeah, they're all the same anyway."

 

Last month, Stef goes in there for some materials. The kid has been made the fishing dept manager. He knows her, and asks for some advice...

 

"I've been telling people that Olive Blue Wings and Glow Bugs are what's working...is that right?"

There may be a couple of answers to that one but only one "safe" answer. wink.gif

 

The correct anwser when asked "Do I look fat in anything" is "I think it makes you look sexy!" followed by a smile and a wink.

 

Why you ask? This turns the spot light on her and off you while causing her to forget about the original question. Now she thinks she is sexy and a sexy woman is a happy woman. wink.gif

 

Oh and a happy man.....

“Honey, do these waders make me look fat?”

The safest answer...fake some chest pains. Diversion is your only chance for salvation.
