Subject: RE: BS: Hey Joe, an offer you can't refuse
Me buddy Randy Fink took three of us uni classmates up in Ironbound lighthouse one summer. It was a delight.

The hightlight of the trip for me however was jigging cod. Randy and I knew how to hold a cod and the city boys did not.

WARNING to animal lovers... the following is cruel to fish.

We could grab a cod and throw it at the city boys but they couldn't throw one back and get "fishy" all over our clothes. Yes, it's childish but boys in their 20s are simply little boys in men's bodies. Chimp got close enough when I was showing him how to hold a cod that I was able to rub it in his face. Which was a brave thing to do... "Chimp" was his nickname... you figure it out.
