Last night I was watching the B.A.S.S. Masters Classic in Pittsburgh. They featured a Story on Clay Dryer. This man is Professional fisherman and only has 1/2 of an arm and no legs. YET he still goes out and catches fish with the best of them.

Well sure, but put him in a boxing ring with me and he's toast!

The term "professional fisherman" always struck me as a little odd. Isn't fishing just an excuse to drink beer?

There was a guy who shot in our pool league, now deceased, who had both arms blown off above the elbow. The man rarely lost a game. As impressive as it was, it was still pretty damn embarassing to get whupped at pool by a guy with no arms.

There was a wrestler in High School in my weight class with an arm and a half. He almost went to state, because everybody he wrestled was totally creeped out

Just makes you stop and count your blessings for what you do have.
