CHUCKLE: There were two old boys from Alabama who love to fish, and they wanted to do some ice fishing. TheyƵd heard about it up in Canada, and they took off up there. The lake was frozen nicely. They stopped just before they got to the lake at a little bait shop and got all their tackle. One of them said, ƵWeƵre going to need an ice pick.Ƶ So they got that, and they took off. In about two hours, one of them was back at the shop and said, ƵWeƵre going to need another dozen ice picks.Ƶ Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didnƵt. He sold him the picks, and the old boy left. In about an hour, he was back. Said, ƵWeƵre going to need all the ice picks youƵve got.Ƶ The bait man couldnƵt stand it any longer. ƵBy the way,Ƶ he asked, Ƶhow are you fellows doing?Ƶ ƵNot very well at all,Ƶ he said. ƵWe donƵt even have the boat in the water yet.Ƶ
