A funeral procession pulled into a cemetery. Several carloads of family members followed a black truck towing a boat with a coffin in it.
A passer-by remarked, “That guy must have been a very avid fisherman.”
“Oh, he still is,” remarked one of the mourners. As a matter of fact, he’s headed off to the lake as soon as we bury his wife.”
A bald eagle catches a fish and then swims with it to to the shore.
Fascinating!
Two lucky fishermen have captured the moment a bald eagle swoops down to catch a fish but finds that its catch is too big to fly with.
After realising that it’s unable to fly, the bird of prey decides to swim to shore using a butterfly style stroke.
One of the men behind the camera can be heard remarking: “That’s a YouTube video there.”
When the eagle eventually makes it to dry land, it reveals the size of it’s catch and it becomes clear why it could not re-emerge from the water with it.
The bald eagle is the proud national bird symbol of the United States, and was declared an endangered species in America in 1973.
The bird of prey has since been removed from the federal Endangered Species List, but due to its size and importance American heritage it remains an impressive sight to many.
One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the
sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth
of the afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish.
About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to relieve some of the
stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out
why this fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a living for himself and his
family.
“You aren’t going to catch many fish that way,” said the businessman to the fisherman, “you
should be working rather than lying on the beach!”
The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied, “And what will my reward be?”
“Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!” was the businessman’s answer.
“And then what will my reward be?” asked the fisherman, still smiling.
The businessman replied, “You will make money and you’ll be able to buy a boat, which will then
result in larger catches of fish!”
“And then what will my reward be?” asked the fisherman again.
The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with the fisherman’s questions. “You
can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!” he said.
“And then what will my reward be?” repeated the fisherman.
The businessman was getting angry. “Don’t you understand? You can build up a fleet of fishing
boats, sail all over the world, and let all your employees catch fish for you!”
Once again the fisherman asked, “And then what will my reward be?”
The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman, “Don’t you understand that you
can become so rich that you will never have to work for your living again! You can spend all
the rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset. You won’t have a care in
the world!”
The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, “And what do you think I’m doing right now?”
Video Description:
What is the best part of this news story from Boston’s WCVB about a fisherman who decided to jump off his boat and ride a shark for fun? Is it the fact that the man, Erik Jacobs, video taped the whole thing? Is it the fact that the shark was 15 feet long? Is it the fact that the “ar” sound in shark really pops thanks to Jacob’s awesome Boston accent? No. The best part of this story is the sub headline that WCVB uses in their Internet write up:
“Wildlife Officials Say Ride Dangerous”
Gee, you think?
