Being new to the sport, he figured his best chance for success was to buy the most elaborate and expensive ice drilling rig he could find. It had a main switch, labeled ?auto, manual, and off. With a separate control panel for manual operation {outriggers, drill, espresso machine, pony keg, generator, space heater, stereo, sat TV, etc}; plus depth/fish finder/graph/side sonar, etc.
Excited about his purchase and anxious to try it out, he invites several friends to go with him in the morning, but everyone declined. Disappointed, he cracks open a bottle of Chivas; by 2:00am he?s almost finished with his second bottle. Logic and reasoning out the window, he figures he can handle this rig by himself.
He?s so drunk, it took him half an hour just to go 20 feet on the ice and he forgot his flashlight. He was certain the salesman said it had lights, but he couldn?t find the switch with his Bic. Managing to find the main and was about to turn it on when a loud booming voice from overhead says, ?THERE ARE NO FISH THERE!!?
In a panic he looked all around and saw nothing, it was pitch black that night.
Panic stricken, he hustled to move another 20 feet in only fifteen minutes. About to throw the switch again and the voice comes back louder, ?THERE ARE NO FISH THERE, EITHER!!!!!? Barely able to speak he asks, ?is that you God??
?No, this is the rink manager. I?ll give you five minutes to get outta here!?
