At the station,... Three Microsoft engineers and three Apple employees are traveling by train to a computer conference. At the station, the three Microsoft engineers each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple employees buy only a single ticket.

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a Microsoft engineer.

"Watch and you'll see," answers the Apple employee.

They all board the train. The Microsoft engineers take their respective seats, but all three Apple employees cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please."

The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes the ticket and moves on.

The Microsoft engineers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the Microsoft engineers decide to do the same on the return trip and save some money.

When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Apple employees don't buy any ticket, at all.

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed Microsoft engineer.

"Watch and you'll see," answers an Apple employee.

When they board the train the three Microsoft engineers cram into a restroom and the three Apple employees cram into another one nearby. The train departs.

Shortly afterward, one of the Apple employees leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Microsoft engineers are hiding.

All of a sudden out of nowhere a bug flies right into my ear canal and I start going crazy. I was running around telling my friends what was going on looking at them like if they could help me anyway. I could just hear the bug in my ear buzzing getting deeper and deeper. It must have been in there for about 5 minutes and then I tilted my head with my ear to the air and it stopped buzzing. Not sure if it flew out or died in my ear but I don't feel anything. Very very very scary situation. It must have been a very small bug, like a gnat, which made the idea so much scarier. Anyway, hope you guys never have to experience this.

On Thursday night my buddies and I were in the south Jetty Of IRI trying for Stripers. I was throwing my 12wt and a 12" black eel fly that I tie. Well 2 shorts and 2 and 1/2 hours later we were just about to pack it in and I felt the bump. A hard strip set later and I was hooked to something big. I gave 2 more strip/rod sets and we were off to the races. You may as well have tied your tippet to the bumper of your car and had somebody drive off at around 5 miles/hour. My buddie saw the bend in the rod and came over to check it out. The first thing I said it it doesent feel like a fish.

This rig has a Ross Canyon BG 6 and this thing is not stopping. I am about 3/4 thru the backing so at risk of loosing the whole line I clamp the drag down. It is still pulling some, but I am gainging some line back. I finally get on the fly line and it decides to run out again.

We do this dance 4 more times, each run getting shorter and the line recovery faster each time. Well 25 min and 5 long runs later I finally get on the leader and we can see an huge black stingray. It looked to be about 4 to 4.5' on the wingspan and the guys on the end of the jetty said it looked to be around 45#. once we knew for sure what it was I clamped the reel with my hand and popped the tippet.

Not what we were looking for, but still very very fun. ]]> Fly Fishing Forum Bounty Htr http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/showthread.php?t=672014 uv protection http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/showthread.php?t=672013&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:46:48 GMT need a pair of glasses need be polarized to block uv light or can a pair of glasses block uv and not be polarized?

Put_em_back and myself were out last night when a little brown pug-faced mutt comes running up yapping and acting tough. On edge from our most recent beach ambush all I could think of was, "Thank God it's not a killer seal." :D

I was concentrating on keeping my wayward plug away from his noggin when up lurches this plastered dude, cocktail in hand, who introduces himself as "Patrick." Being the cordial and respectful SOL types we shake hands and keep the legs churning up the beach. Patrick, who looks like he's been hitting the sauce all day, tells us - "Let's get drunk!"

It was a long day, we just trudged a few miles and a drink to wet our dry sounded pretty good - at least to me. Craig was likely thinking of fishing the next hole. We were about to make a new friend but my radar started going off, and it wasn't like this was some hot chick looming out of the dark inviting us to her bonfire, with her lonely friends, who dig sweaty guys in waders.

Patrick, weaving unsteadily, saw that he was losing us and blurts out - "I date strippers!" :laugh:

I know Craig has ogled (in his younger days) at the Brass Rail a time or two and Thirsty's has seen me at the front row spending like a drunken sailor - so this caused us to pause in mid-step and ponder for a second or two. Unfortunately for me, and likely for Craig, these flashbacks are kind of dated. Just as I was trying to decipher the significance of Patrick's statement, Craig and I see are shocked out of our brief reverie to see a burly naked guy lurching up the beach.

At first I logically thought it was Double_D escaping from a man fort but this guy didn't have any unusual marks on him that we could see. Also, there was a "lady" that came into focus off to the side. Running and weaving full tilt, not towards us but to the woman, the "poor man's Double_D" stumbled along and foolishly fell flat on his face in the sand. Ouch dude!

Craig and I put on the the afterburners and called it a day. Striper fishing can sure be fun. :laugh: ]]> West Coast Fishing Paladin http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/showthread.php?t=672010 Wtb Rm Jointed Wb Danny http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/showthread.php?t=672009&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:47:04 GMT Looking for a RM Smith Jointed Danny in Wonderbread (NIP).Thanks Looking for a RM Smith Jointed Danny in Wonderbread (NIP).Thanks ]]> Plugs - Want to Buy capekayak http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/showthread.php?t=672009 rental car momma??? http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/showthread.php?t=672008&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:14:53 GMT Is this a reliable site to rent a car from?
