<\/a>\nWhen I retired from the ARMY, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime — trout fishing.<\/p>\n
I bought my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing.<\/p>\n
Finally, one day down at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam the shop owner, who it turned out, loves trout fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies.<\/p>\n
As I said, the wife doesn’t care about fishing. She not only refuses to join us, but she always complains that I spend too much time out on the lake.<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful trout you’ve ever seen, only a few minutes later Sam must have caught its twin brother!<\/p>\n
So I took a picture of Sam holding up the two nice trout that we caught and showed the picture to my wife, hoping that maybe she’d get interested..<\/p>\n
Instead she says she doesn’t want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just doesn’t like to see me enjoying myself.<\/p>\n
What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby, or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n
Barry Lea.<\/p>\n
P.S.. Enclosed is a picture of Sam with the two trout we caught.<\/p>\n
