Taber, you obviously don't understand the first thing about fishing....

And another thing... you can get off your holier than thou, anti-redneck soap box. The man was a certified public accountant. Not that that doesn't mean he wasn't a redneck or a bumpkin, as you called him. You simply ASSUMED he was a red neck based on stereotypes. Your commentary is pretty much prejudice defined and reeks of snobbery. Such intellectual snobbery is belligerent, repulsive and in extremely poor taste to those who actually make it a point to understand the human condition. There is a lot of wisdom in the phrase "walk a mile in a mans shoes...."

Woah, Coz is laying the smack down! You gonna take that Taber??

22 miles out is a commitment. I have to admit that I would've gotten my fish on too. Just stow the head in a bait box.

now that's some good chum!!!

I'm not sure how I offended you quite that much by making a joke about rednecks, but I apologize. Still, I'm pretty darn offended by the way you overreacted to something that was obviously a joke, and not even directed at you. Sorry buddy, but I thought the story was pretty damn funny, hence the reason that I posted it. Understanding the human condition and social imagination is irrelevant to this situation. Granted, I don't know these people, but neither do you, so neither one of us could know his intellectual status. Having a well paying job doesn't mean your automatically an intelligent person (as The President has shown)

But none of that matters because it was a joke, as in NOT serious. I'll break it down for you: the joke has nothing to do with fishing, it's about rednecks, and rednecks (by stereotype) are so consumed with their leisure activities that things like human heads don't phase them. Frankly, I do find it pretty twisted that these people would want to spend an extra five hours with a piece of someone that died. Not only that, it's illegal to not report a crime immediately after it's discovered. I'm sure these people won't be charged given the situation, but still, they didn't know anything about this person other than the fact that they were decapitated. I've heard that people can have an immense spiritual experience while fishing, and I think that’s cool. But this person was killed, and regardless of how long ago it happened, they put their leisure activity before the investigation of this murder, and I find that pretty sick. Perhaps YOU don’t understand the human condition if you willing to put your put your wants in front of someone else's (alive or dead) needs. Sailing out 22 miles is a commitment, but their utter apathy towards the deceased is what made me want to make fun of them. It just seemed a little simple minded to say "what's a couple of hours" when your talking about a severed head you found. I was making light out of the situation which is what almost all of Kung Foo is, especially the news. And it's a little hypocritical to say how repulsive and bad taste my joke was when you have a cartoon avatar humping air; your not exactly the embodiment of all that is politically correct.

So again, I'm sorry you were offended, but we all make jokes, (including you) and I consider this to be a tame one.

YO!!! Me an taber went and thrashed it out behind the dumpster and all is cool. We found some NyQuil back there too... so we be chillin...

riiiiiiiiiiiiighhhtt.....
