I had to go to #4 on the google list with that one, #1-3 had moved on to newer material. The "keeping your worms warm" joke seems to mostly be don with ice fishing. geocities.com
Tom and Fred were coming out of a corn field on the opening day of Minnesota's pheasant season. Passing in front of them on the road was a hearse and long procession of cars, escorted by a police car. Tom stopped, called his dog, took his cap off, and stood quietly at the side of the road with his dog while the funeral procession passed by. Once it had passed, Tom and his dog rejoined Fred.
"Wow" Fred exclaimed, "You sure do show alot of respect for the dead!"
"Jane was a hell of a wife." Tom replied, "I'm going to miss her."
And, as a lifelong Packer fan, I have to relay this one.
One season, the Vikings and Packers ended the year tied. Every tiebreaker the NFL had was used to break the tie, but the tie remained. Which team would be the NFC Central Champion?
The NFL office was consulted. They said to figure it out locally, something like a coin toss would be fine.
Well, Minnesota and Wisconsin being the fishing states they are, someone got the idea of a 3-day fishing contest. Both teams agreed.
On the first day, the Packers caught 100 fish, while the Vikings caught none. On the second day, the Packers again caught fish, 200 this time. Once again, the Vikings were skunked.
Things were looking bad for the Vikings - the Viking coach was desperate. He called one of his players aside, and dressed him in green and gold. "Go over to the Packer camp and find out what they're doing!" he was told.
The Viking player returned a couple of hours later. "I know what they're doing Coach!" he reported excitedly. "Well what is it? asked the Coach.
"They're drilling holes thru the ice...." came the reply. |
