Every Sunday morning I get up at 6.30AM - put on the kettle, make a brew, and take the dog for a walk along the canal towpath - and every Sunday morning, without fail, I see this fisherman, same swim, week in, week out.
I have never seen him catch a fish!
So this Sunday morning I decide to ask him how he is doing - "nothing" he says, "Have'nt had a bite all night"
He shrinks further into his Wimpey Donkey Jacket.
"You're keen", I say, feeling sorry for the guy."I see you every Sunday morning."
"I suppose I am" he mutters "Been here since 10 o'clock last night"
"You've been here since 10 last night and not had a bite, you are keen." I say, trying my best to cheer him up.
"Yeah, I suppose I am" he says "Got married yesterday as well."
"You got married yesterday and been here since ten last night - you are bloody keen" I say
"What's the matter with the wife then, is she ugly" I politely enquire.
"Yeah, she's as ugly as bloody sin" he moans.
"What the hell did you marry her for then" I ask
"SHE'S GOT WORMS" he says
