for weeks, and in some cases months i have been repeatedly asked by family members, co-workers, old friends and in some cases mere acquaintances to go striper fishing. and for weeks....and months... i have repeatedly invited those same people to go striper fishing.
and its always the same excuses lol-
1. ive got to work (this is the stupidest excuse of all, in my opinion) oh, so you didnt know you were going to have to work the last 13 times you asked to go?
2. i have alot of stuff i need to get done tommorrow....hmmm its ok, i guess we will just go on a day when im busy and IVE got important stuff to do, no problem, my stuff can wait.
3. i wish you wouldve given me a little more notcie, its going to be hard for me to get away....i did give you a "little" more notice, remember when we planned this trip at the family reunion ? 3 months ago ?
4. i really need to mow the grass and weed eat.....ok no problem, i understand the best time to mow and weedeat is right at daylight when the grass is still soaked and clumps really well.
5. ive got to take little betsy to soccer practice, ok soccer practice is at 1pm, we will be done by 9 am, and i thought little betsy was the reason we were going striper fishing, yup i remember you said " i would love for little betsy to catch one of those big stripers" can we take LITTLE BETSY sometime?
6. and the best one of all "the weather is supposed to be kind of bad tommorrow, i think they are calling for light drizzle, 2mph winds out of the SW, and 68 degrees" oh yeah, lets wait until we have a really high bluebird sky with 25mph winds out of the norhteast an 89 degrees. cant wait !
I dont want to sound like im griping, because i was going to go fishing anyway, with or without a guest, but c'mon
i would love to hear some of the excuses you guys/gals have heard
