And one of my pet peeves is tourists coming up from SF to fish our rivers and giving them stupid nicknames. "SOOOO fella, what's happenin' on the Lil Truck?" After with holding punching him in his stupid shit eating grin lawyer face, "It's the Little Truckee, or the LT. Not the "Truck" You are liable to get stabbed if you say that again." Lawyer "Hahahahaha, you boys are funny up here in the mountains." Funny like burying your Beemer in the woods with you in it. Man, I've been outta the shop for a year and it still makes me bitter.... Kudos to the above though, it's priceless. As a former fly shop slave, I endorse the above.

It's a mathematical formula called the DB ratio: (amount of expensive fishing gear x thurston Howell voice used to repeatedly tell airplane seatmate that you simply have to fish the LAMAR)/(amount of cash carried while fishing + zany golf pants worn when not in waders + What's hot? questions to store managers) = amount of Douche Bag in Fisherman Just remeber Cletus "It takes a village to tune a banjo" Egod Jethro,

The hot cup of coffee, some conversation, whatever it may be pertaining to fishing, even if a tightwad professional who can spend x amount of dollars on whatever is in the shop, be thankful that your listings is the only gripes about your job that you have.

And while I'm sure there are tons more you could whip out, nothing beats what I witnessed the other day at my fly shop...this midddle aged man (say 53) came in all suited out like he was on his way to the river (already dressed in $5,000 worth of shit), to ask the manager if he could give him a new Winston rod tube. He apparently just bought a new Winston rod, but the Winston metal-type sticker on the accompanying rod tube had a tiny dimple in it and he wanted a new one. Unreal. Fly fishing still needs to shed some of the old gayness associated with it. This is hysterical.
