Jim's Pond - Exploring the Universe of Ideas
"Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Are you a fishaholic?

Paul Quinnett gives these sure signs:

  • Does your spouse ever complain that you are fishing too much?

  • Do you have difficulty limiting your fishing to certain times of the day or to certain places?

  • Do you claim that you can stop fishing any time you want to?

  • Do you sometimes feel guilty about fishing?

  • Do you ever fish before noon?

  • Have you ever been told you have a fishing problem?

  • Do you often wish you could keep fishing after your friends say they have had enough?

  • Have you ever sought help about you fishing? From a guide, for example?

  • Do you keep a fishing rod stashed in a secret place so that you can go fishing whenever you really need to?

  • Have you ever lied about your fishing? Are you lying now?

    Give yourself one point for every "yes" answer. If you scored between four and seven on this test, you're a middle-stage fishaholic. If you scored more than seven, you're a late-stage fishaholic and should consider a self-help program like Fishaholics Anonymous.

    But of course you won't.

    "Pavlov's Trout"
    Paul Quinnett

  • I'm a borderline late-stager myself. This past week fishing with Mikey didn't help.......
