Well, vocalists, please pardon my off-subject. I have been in the hospital since
before Christmas attempting to keep a neighbor in my building from killing me
with secondhand chain smoke (she's winning even with three HEPA filters going
full blast day and night) and a friend, a good friend, hoping to make me choke
from laughter sent this to me. I do wish to share;

A blonde decided she needed something new and different for a
winter hobby. She went to the bookstore and bought every book
she could find on ice fishing.

For weeks she read and studied every book, hoping to become an
expert in the field. Finally she decided she knew enough, and out
she went for her first ice fishing trip.

She carefully gathered up and packed all the tools and equipment
needed for the excursion. Each piece of equipment had its own
special place in her kit.

When she got to the ice, she found a quiet little area, placed
her padded stool, and carefully laid out her tools. Just as she
was about to make her first cut into the ice, a booming voice
from the sky bellowed, "There are no fish under the ice!"

Startled, the blonde grabbed up all her belongings, moved further
along the ice, poured some hot chocolate from her thermos, and
started to cut a new hole. Again the voice from above bellowed,
"There are no fish under the ice!"

Amazed, the blonde wasn't quite sure what to do, as this
certainly wasn't covered in any of her books. She packed up her
gear and moved to the far side of the ice. Once there, she
stopped for a few moments to regain her calm. Then she was
extremely careful to set everything up perfectly -- tools in the
right place, chair positioned just so, everything.

Just as she was about to cut this new hole, the voice came again,
"There are no fish under the ice!"

Petrified, the blonde looked skyward and asked "Is that you
Lord?"

The voice boomed back, "No, this is the manager of the skating
rink!"
