Can I fish?

[marval]

A man wanted to go ice fishing. He'd seen many books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the necessary "tools" together, he made for the nearest frozen lake.

After positioning his comfy stool, he started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE." Startled, the man moved further down the ice, poured a Thermos of coffee and began to cut another. Again from the heavens, the voice bellowed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE."

The man, now quite worried, moved down to the opposite end of the ice, set up his stool, and tried again to cut a hole. The voice came once more, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE."

He stopped, looked skyward and said, "Is that you Lord?"

The voice replied, "No ... this is the Ice-Rink Manager...."

That man is a real idiot. I think I hate him. What is his name? What's his address? If I see him on the street, I'm gonna punch him in the eyeball.

Johnny's comment made me laugh a lot!

[marval]

Yes, me too.

I assume Johnny realised it was a joke?

[johnny7]

Yes squarebear. You might not believe it but I'm not a complete retard

[Marijn]

Squarebear, of course Johnny knew it was a joke! Did you miss out on appreciating Johnny's comment, cos you didn't realise he was joking?
