Here’s one I had not heard…

Fishing is boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting.
Dave Barry

Now, I can see where the uninitiated would think that fishing is boring, what with all that standing around (or floating around). I don’t get bored, because, when I am fishing, I occupy my time with trying to keep my footing, trying to keep mosquitoes at bay, trying to cast, trying to unravel rat’s nests, trying to recover lost tackle, and this sort of thing. I have never been bored while fishing.

As far as the disgusting part goes, I’ll let you know, right after I catch an actual fish.
