let's start with a fishing story!
To Go Fishing, or Not to Go Fishing
For some people, fishing is so enjoyable that it puts them in seventh heaven. For others, fishing is a good time to relax and catch forty winks. I'm of two minds about it. At first sight fishing seems like fun. But, on second thought, I just don't like to handle a fish when I catch it. To many people who like fishing, it's second nature to look at a river or a lake and know where the fish are. They have a sixth sense that helps them do this. Soon they re catching fish, while I'm still trying to put the worm on the hook.
