A fellow always came in here, bragging...nothing wrong with that, it's what fishermen do, right? But this guy, jeeze, this guy was a know-it-all type. He was a big numbers guy, loved to talk stats (his stats). Heck, I don't know if he EVER just went fishing to have a good time (poor soul). And, he always talked down to me, because that's the way he was, and he knew so much more about bass fishing than I did (as if I cared).
He just knew I wasn't "really" a bass fishermen (and I am not, really, I guess, especially according to him), but anyway, a man can only take so much. So I finally stacked all my big bass photos up in a desk drawer and waited 'til I "couldn't take it any more."
"Taylor, you have NEVER caught a REALLY big bass, have you...?" he started in.
"Oh, I have caught a few," I said, as the drawer squeaked open slowly...kinda like the sound of a guillotine blade being pulled into place, I imagine.
Well, the "pro" was in mid-conversation about his earth-shattering fishing feats when I started playing my dang photos like a royal flush � one at a time and each one hitting the desktop with a "how about that one!?!, it's pretty big, have you ever caught one that big!?! And a, "would you lookee there! Here's another! What about this one! Ever caught one like that!?! And this one!" Etc, etc., etc.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
"Hey wait a minute, where are you going?"
He staggered backwards, "reeling" from the pain...and limped off, leaving with no goodbyes or "kiss my tailfins."
He and I don't talk big bass anymore, and I took those photos home somewhere and buried in a file, somewhere. Who knows?
It was mean, what I did, and I will pay for it one day, but the sonofagun deserved it. Wish I had it all on video so I could put in youtube.
