Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have had no time to go fishing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up.
I didn't jump onto anyone else's coattail and ride their wave.
I don't see why I should be a dame for just doing what I always wanted to do.
Don't be a fish; be a frog. Swim in the water and jump when you hit ground.
When the fishbowl gets too small, it's time to pack up and leave and jump into the lake or ocean.
I think it's time for me to get out, because at the moment I'm only thinking about fishing 21 hours a day, and they're the waking moments. And even when I close my eyes I'm thinking about it.
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.
There were a few youthful fishing trips, but I never enjoyed the experiences, partly because I didn't like hurting the bait.
I'd go fishing and always pretend I would catch the biggest fish. I'd stay out there for hours after everybody else left until I caught something. When I shot baskets, I was always the coach and star player and always made the winning shot.
When all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.
