Subdeacon Joe Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Australia's cedar getters: "They are the roughest of the rough fellows, muscular as a working bullock, hairy as a chimpanzee, obstinate as a mule, simple as a child, generous as the slave of Aladdin's lamp. A fondness for rum and a capacity for absorbing vast quantities of that liquid are among their prominent characteristics. They are also in the habit of 'bruising' each other upon the smallest provocation, and it is a noticeable fact that one of the surest modes of securing the friendship of a cedar getter is to knock him down. He will probably return the compliment with interest, and reduce your features into an unrecognisable condition, but he will ever afterwards be your firm friend. There is a good deal of rude honour about these fellows. Thus, if one chances to light upon a fall of cedar, none of the others will attempt to cut even a tree out of the group."

Alpo Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 On the subject of catfish A lady wants to buy something at the sporting goods ddepartment, but the only clerk she sees is blind. She asks him how he would know what to ring up. He told her to just drop it on the register, and he would be able to tell from the sound what it was. So she did - clatter - and he said, "Zebco 202 spin casting reel with rod, $15.00". Amazed, she told him he was right and that she would take it. As she opened her purse to get out her wallet, she broke wind, loudly and odoriferously. Embarrassed - but at least he didn't see what she looked like so he wouldn't know her again - she opened her wallet, and the clerk told her $23. She complained that he had just told her the rod and reel was 15. "Yes, 15 for the rod and reel, $5 for the duck call, and $3 for the catfish stink bait." 1 6 Quote
