Drawing 35

LOITERER:
…And there was a tug! I started to pull. Let me tell you, Stan, this carp was mighty. Mighty strong, mighty big, and as I would soon learn, mighty tasty. That's a trifecta of mighty.

BARBER: That's great, Bill.
LOITERER:

Stan, I pulled on the line, and the fish went into the boat. But don't think that this is the end of it. That carp was still jumping around, jabbing and hooking, looking just like Joe Louis.
BARBER:

That's great, Bill.
LOITERER: I had to think fast. Danger was looking me straight in the face, and he wore a smooth tweed jacket. I pull out my pocketknife, hold the fish to the ground, and Stan, I stab the fish in the eye near seventy times. And that was the 40th fish I ever caught.

BARBER: That's great, Bill.
