Grandma's catfish

Post by Jools »

As some of you may know, I collect all sorts of obscure catfish related memorabilia. Amongst the RTC mardi gras beads and pectoral fin bones, I have this old photo. I thought I'd post it here for a bit of fun to see what funny captions you can all come up with.

Cheers,

Jools

If you want a caption with a lesson: Grandma jumped the gun. Pond first (hinting at the pile of the concrete blocks), catfish second.

Vicar: It's about this letter you sent me regarding my insurance claim.
Devious: Oh, yeah, well, you see, it's just that we're not, as yet, totally satisfied with the grounds of your claim.
Vicar: But it says something about filling my mouth in with cement.
Devious: Oh well, that's just insurance jargon, you know.
