florida guy - "i'm an avid angler, also. Where do you do most of your fishing?"

w - "i own a lake in southwest louisiana. I named it big lake. What is your favorite bait?"

florida guy - "i make my own baits. It's a huge rush knowing that you fooled a trout or red on a homemade lure. What baits do you use?"

w - "i designed a bait called a corky. I just sold my business a while back and the originals are selling for $75 each. I have 3 of my favs that i'll sell you for the price of 1."

florida guy - "i'd like to come up there and try out my baits. I catch some huge trout down here on these lures."

w- yeah, i catch big trout all the time wade fishing. Do you wade down there?"

florida guy - "no, i'm kinda short so wading is kinda out of the question for me. I sure wish i could, tho."

w - "i always knew my height would come in handy for something. I never liked basketball but it sure comes in handy while wading."

florida guy - how tall are you?

w - 6' 6". I have 2 huge camps on my lake...maybe you can come and stay and i'll take you fishing."

florida guy - "that would be great! I get excited about tryin' out my baits in other areas.

w - "i'll be glad to try them out and let you know what i think."

florida guy - "would you? I'll send you some and maybe you can get them going over there."

w - "be glad to help out! How much do you get for them?"

florida guy - "well, i'm asking $6 because of all the time involved but if you can get some sales in your area....i'll let 'em go for $5."

w - "ok, i own a website called www.saltycajun.com so i should be able to sell plenty for you. I'll just collect the money and send it straight to you and you can ship the lures. How's that?"

florida guy - "great! Dang, w...you seem like a really nice guy."

w - well, everybody seems to think so. I just try to help everybody out as much as i can.....you know, the less fortunate. I made the cover of louisiana sportsman magazine and they said the interview was the most popular one ever."

florida guy - good deal. I'll try to plan a trip over there but my job makes it tough for me to leave more than one day at a time."

w - "where do you work?"

florida guy - "i'm a neurosurgeon."

w - "wanna "conpare" salaries?"
