No really, they are a good bunch for the most part. Had a couple
run-ins long time ago, but those guys are either retired or not doing
field work anymore. Wrote me up once for "no fire extinguisher"
'cause it was a shade low on the gauge - I assure you it worked,
I tried it before getting it refilled. Wonder what would've happened
after I had said ticket in my pocket if I'd pulled the pin and hosed
'em down with dry chemical? Figure I'da got shot, the way that
guy acted. Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is to relate a couple
of stories one of them told me about some recent tickets they wrote
for no fishing license - First one, guy said he wasn't fishing, just trying
to snag something he'd lost in water - no sale. Next, a woman was
just practicing her casting technique, was not fishing. nope, didn't
buy that either. And finally, another lady was just holding the rod
for hubby while he took a break - but not fishing. I'm glad I don't
have their job! One told me that the only reason many years ago he
wanted the job was that he loved to hunt and fish, but now he hasn't
done either in years. I see them headed to the lake all the time and
tell them I wish I could get given a nice boat and paid to cruise around
checking bikinis - They seldom see the humor - tell me they'll trade
places with me on the spot. Wouldn't that be terrible, to NOT want
to go to the lake?
