There are two stories here.<br /><br />1st. This one I've only been told about, but from what I can gather, my grandmother was probably one of the first people to sport metal in her nose. Apparently, my uncle managed to hook her nose while my mom, uncle and grandparents were fishing when my mom and her brother were young kids.<br /><br />2nd. My dad and I were scuba diving in a place we like to up at my cottage because there are usually bass and pike to watch...as well, being a spot people will fish occaisionally, there are also lures and anchors. anways, one day we show up and there is nobody around. its the middle of the week and we figured nobody was coming. So we fly our Divers-Down flag and off we go. Well, about 1/2 hour later, i'm lookin around and i see something shiny hooked on a log. i figure, NICE, a brand new lure...1st mistake. now being as it's stuck, usually there is some line attached, so i took no notice of the line that was hangin off of it. So as i pick it out of the log, as soon as i get it out, the line goes tight and the lure gets stuck in what i thought was my finger, but turned out to only be my kevlar glove...thank god for kevlar. So now i'm being dragged up to this guys boat, and i'm sorta goin along with it, figure i can have some fun while i'm hooked on this guys tackle. so i stay deep, and come up right under the boat, and just as i get to the surface, my arm gets netted. I swear the guy nearly crapped his pants, and after a quick lesson in flags and what they mean, the fisher was off to a quieter spot.<br /><br />MORALS OF THE STORY:<br /><br />1. I am now a big proponent of licensing boaters.<br />2. Common sense isn't so common.<br />3. CUT THE LINE FIRST!<br /><br />I'm sure there are fishermen and scuba divers that are gonna have fun with this one...go to town!
