Re: Those idiots at PETA are at it again
The following is a real event;<br />It was January, 1999, and me and my bro were fishing . We had a favorite spot, which was approx 150FT from a bridge,where we would anchor. There were quite a few fishermen on the catwalk and on the headwalls (10-15, best I can remember). Anyhow, we were enjoying it, when we hear a commotion . A bunch of people chanting something about "fish die, we cry", or some such rot.As they approached we could see what appeared to be a person in a costume of a green fish! There were about 10-12 other people in back of "Fishman", all carrying signs like "fish have feeling too" and "stop heartless fishermen" and such...Fishman was quite animated, dancing, and jumping,and motioning as if he was in pain and crying. It was a truely SURREAL site unfolding. As they got on the bridge, stopping traffic ,horns blairing, people screaming, fishermen cussing-- my brother, a usually quiet, soft-spoken guy, undid his trousers, and "MOONED" the group. The crowd on the bridge errupted in laughter..Well, what could I do? I mooned them too. Then, all the fishermen on the bridge did the same.<br /> Fishman and his silly enterage turned-around, and walked-off to the side they approached from. I couild no longer see them, but heard one of the guys on the bridge say, "that guy is on a cellphone." Another said, "I'll bet the dweeb is calling the sherriff's dept."<br />Then, one sugjested we all deny we "mooned" this group of strange folk. We all seemed to agree. Sure enough, the sherriff showed-up, asked what was going on, and somebody said, "nuthin". Fishman was behind the officer "saying they were ALL doing it! Can't you arrest them?"<br />The cop asked, and we unamimouslly denied mooning the fish. Then my brother yells out.."Hey do they have a permit to do that?"<br />The officer turned-around nodding his head and laughing. Apparently, they did not, and the cop told them to disperse, or be arested. They disperesed...WIMPS!
