True Acts of Bravery?

[Neal/CO]

I am sure everyone has a story of a amazing act of bravery they have witnessed or been a part of! For me it was the time i told my Mother and law that her Turkey sucked, on Thanksgiving!! Of course I was drunk, so I don't know if that counts?

I am witness to an amazing act of bravery though!! This morning Dennis from Utah emailed me that he will attend the Get-Together at Glendo next month, even though it falls on his wedding aniversery!!! Now is that bravery or what?

Not bravery if his wife is a fisherperson and he takes her along. It would be brave of me to leave mine behind! Took her fishing on our honeymoon (wading cold rivers on the North Shore for steelhead in April) and we've now been married for 35 so must have done something right.

Hey, I laughed! :)

Hey gang,

The true definition between Brave and Nuts is listed below.

Neal is correct. Brave is telling your mother in law her Turkey was awful, on Thanksgiving.

Nuts is, like I made the horrible mistake of doing one time, telling your wife she is turning in to her mother while arguing with her! :o

Let me tell you, a fella will only make that mistake once!! And trust me, you don't want to go there!!! :P

Have fun.............R

Tomorrow is my wifes birthday, I offered to take her to Lake Erie and let her drive the boat, she offered to introduce me to the lawyer! Guess I have to take her someplace nice to eat... as long as it goes past a tackle store, getting low on some things.

[Neal/CO]

Missing your wifes birthday to go fishing would be tough, but it takes real stones to leave your wife for four days to go fishing with a bunch of guys you have never met! If i tried this my wife would mount a certain part of my anatomy on the wall! LOL.

telling your mother inlaw that the pot as in cooking pot. you need that like you need a hole in the head. for your birthday. after she ask you what you need. i.e. fishing stuff.

On the first anniversary of my marriage I was on a canoe and portage trip into Ontario in what is now the BWCAW -- and, I was with my college coach. He had never fished in the north and I promised to take him. That was 42 years ago. It was a trip he never forgot to the day he died, and it was a trip my wife did not resent in the least. We celebrate another anniversary in 28 days.

[OOC]

Letting the wife drive the boat on Lake Erie sounds like an act of bravery(or stupidity).God bless you and your boat!

His girlfriend asked him, "Say Johnny dear, Do I look fat in this pair of paints?

One look and he said, "HAAAAA!!" "Yup"

I dont know if you would call it brave but I bought my wife refridgerater magnets for christmas one year.I m still married and we have a good laugh now and again about it.Also went Brown trout fishing 1 hr.after bringing my wife and newly born daughter home from hospital. I guess wasnt brave just stupid,but in my own defense I asked first and she said yes,I was young and didnt yet realize that sometimes when a woman says yes have a good time she really means I hope you and your boat sink you bone head .

One fishing trip a while back we were feeling no pain I asked this girl if she wanted to dance-- she looked at me strangely like I could'nt have been addressing her. She said me dance with you, you have to be kidding. I said I didn't ask you if you wanted to dance I said your butt sure looks big in those pants. Us brave soles went back to the cabin for one more dodging the glaring eyes piercing our hearts.

Made her mad one year, with the last day of inland walleye fishing and our anniversary falling on the same day or real close every year. Went jigging by myself on the Saginaw River on our fateful day, lost a possible 14lb that kept standing up and dropping straightdown at the net, and almost got a ticket the season was closed.......It was our anniversary, and the season had closed the day before. Yikes! Almost got it from both ends of the "LAW"

[mlc]

No way! Dennis was far from being brave. He does not have me fooled. I used to live in his neck of the woods and I know how they raise women in that area. Besides, what is one missed anniversary if you are going to spend an eternity with someone?

Enjoy.

Hey now... they don't call me Gilligan for nothing!

I bought my wife a nice Fenwick rod for mother's day one year. She loved it. That same year in October I bought her a real nice Walker coonhound 2 years old and doing right, for our anniversary. I should have known that was pushing my luck. We're still married after 16 years, but now I have to buy my toys on my holidays.

One year I bought my wife a new 15 hp Buccaneer outboard motor for Mother's Day. For Father's Day she bought me a new zig-zag sewing machine.

[Backwater Eddy]

LOL!!

Maybe if you buy her a new ice auger you will get a nice ironing board this year?

With all these stories you folks are telling it makes more sense to me how the "this really hurts" post recieved so many tips on his divorce. Their supposed to be your wife not your enemy.

See you in court

Dear Married:

Believe me I wouldn't trade my old woman for the world. How many ladies do know would put up with bow hunting from October until at least February in the day, coon hunting every night it's fit from November, until February, Training hounds every night it's below 60 Degrees, Walleye fishing every weekend that the water is open, and couldn't care less. Her thoughts are it's better to have hubby in the woods, or on the water, than in the tavern, or being up her #$% all the time. I'm awfully lucky, and don't you think for one minute I don't know it. Happy huntin', and hookin.

Brave and nuts reminds me of that joke....what seperates a hillbilly from an idiot? The Ohio river.

[Darren B]

Don't do it!!!

I went on a fishing trip to Canada last year the week of my anniversary, and have not yet heard the end of it! I probably never will!!
