Thank you to the anonymous guest blogger from Homer Alaska for this wonderful fishing story...
A woman goes into Cabela's to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get, so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter.
The clerk was standing behind the counter wearing dark shades.
She says to him, "Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?"
He says, ?"Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes."
She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway......
He says, "That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. Test line. It's a good all-around combination, and it's on sale this week for only $20.00."
She says, "It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!" As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.
"Oh, that sounds like a Master Card," he says.
She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts.
At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes......there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was her who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around?
The man rings up the sale and says, "That'll be $34.50 please."
The woman is totally confused by this and asks, "Didn't you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?"
He replies, "Yes, ma'am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the Duck Call is $11.00, and the Catfish Bait is $3.50."
She paid it and left without saying a word...

You mean the people at facebook didn't implant a chip in your brain?
via facebook;"not yet.."
via Facebook;"so Jim, after seeing that picture the question is "Do you miss Homer". I know I liked it there- could go for another month. Just maybe not for the month of February this time."
Yes I miss Homer, especially the people. The weather in Hawaii suits me now for health reasons, however I have always said, "In Alaska where the weather is cold and the people are warm and Hawaii where the weather is warm and the people are cold. Homer was the best place i ever lived, and yes I miss it, especially my anonymous friends who posted this blog and visitors like you in February.
Deb, you and me are the only l ones who liked this joke?
via facebook;"Are you the John Rogers that lives in Homer, who years ago would loan a desperate fisherman like me his skiff??"
