" What do you want to do this afternoon, old man?", he asked.
"Fish," I said.  "But you can't always fish," he said.
I told him I could and I was right and have proved it for thirty
years and more. "Well, well," he said, "please yourself, but isn't it dull
not catching anything?"And I said, as I've said a thousand times since,
"As if it could be."
