Unprepared Fishermen I
Skit: Unprepared Fishermen I
[Fisherman Bob is sitting beside a small portable swimming pool with a rod and reel, dangling his line into the water, whistling tunelessly. Sally, walking by, carrying a bucket of bait (but no rod or reel), stops to talk to Bob.] | |
Sally: | Hey, Bob, are you getting ready to go fishing? |
Bob: | Getting ready? What are you talking about? I've been fishing here in this pool for three and a half hours. |
Sally: | That's a pretty small pool. Say, isn't that a swimming pool? |
Bob: | Yeah, why? |
Sally: | I don't think there are any fish in that pool. Looks like just water to me. |
Bob: | What's that got to do with anything? I've got my rod and reel right here, see, and my fishing line, and... |
Sally: | But Bob, there are no fish in that pool. Don't you want to catch fish? |
Bob: | Of course I want to catch fish! I wouldn't be fishing if I didn't want to catch any fish. |
Sally: | Bob, if you want to catch fish, you have to go where there are fish. Like a lake, or a river, or the ocean... |
Bob: | But I like this pool. And I've got everything I need right here. I've got my rod and reel, my fishing line, and I've got my fishing license right here in my wallet. |
Sally: | A fishing license? What's that? |
Bob: | You can't fish without a license! It's illegal. |
Sally: | Wait, I was headed to the lake to do some fishing, but I've never had a license! |
Bob: | Well, if you're going to fish, you should get a fishing license first. |
Sally: | Okay, I'll tell you what. If you take me to get a license, I'll take you to the lake, and then we can really catch some fish! |
[Bob stands up and they leave together.] |
