Hooked On Fishing...Hooks PDF Print E-mail
Written by Grouchy Joe   
I was at the mall, sitting in the food court, sipping on a coffee while I waited for the cobbler to put new soles on my wing-tips. I'd already done the word jumble and the search-a-word when I looked up and saw this kid with an amazing number of fish-hooks in his ears and eyebrows! Im not sure, but I think that he may have even had one stuck in his nose!

Now I've done a fair bit of fishing in my lifetime, and I've got my share of hooks pierced through my skin. And yes, they hurt like a dang. Bob Takahashi has even caught me a few times with his pitiful casting techniques, but only one hook at a time. Now I don't know what kind of fishing accident this kid was in, but it must have been painful! Maybe he fell face-first into the tacklebox? There were so many hooks in this kid's face that the surgeon probably couldn't remove them without tearing the boy's ears out.

Maybe this kid was herring fishing, or possibly jigging for cod. Who knows, maybe he was at some sort of crazy fishing derby where people have no idea how to fly cast!

I was feeling sorry for him. He'll never be able to wear earmuffs or those furry hats with the flaps on the sides.

But then my thinking changed. This kid never gave up! Hooks had caught him over a dozen times, but he never threw in the towel! He loved his fishing and kept at it! He had more hooks in his face than I have on my fishing hat, but he didnt let that stop him. He must've stood tall and kept fishing!

That boy may have to spend his allowance on Bactine, but he sure made me proud to be an American!
