Super User fishinfiend Posted July 9, 2009 Super User Posted July 9, 2009 Last Friday, my Dad ordered a Shimano Calais from TW. I have been tracking the order for him so we knew that it was going to arrive yesterday. My Dad had to work, so he asked if I would wait around his house so it would not have to sit outside in the rain. Of course I agreed to do this for him. After the reel arrives, I get the bright idea to swap the Calais for a ringer. I opened the package and swapped out the reel for an old abu garcia that we do not use and seal the box back up like nothing happened. He does not get home from work until later in the evening so I figure I would take my Mom out to eat and hang out because I did not want to miss it when he opens the package. When my Dad gets home from work, I immediately notice how excited he is. He asked if his reel arrived and said that he had been thinking about it all day and said what he was going to spool it up with and what he will throw etc... I hand him the box and his face lights up and he tears into the package like a child on Christmas morning. I am doing my best not to laugh. When he opened the package he had a look of confusion on his face. :-/ He takes it out and says, "what the (expletive) is this. Those (expletive) messed up my (expletive) order. I am going to call those (expletive) right now. He strings together a few more obscenities and then looks at me. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I would give anything to have this on camera. ;D ;D ;D Quote

pa mountain man Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 lol, thats pretty good. Last year, my dad had a ground hog tearing up his garden, he couldn't get a shot at it to save his life. One sunday morning, I went to his place to get the log splitter, and there he was eating dad's pepper plants, I carry a 10/22 in the truck, and made short work of him with a head shot. I was feeling proud of the years I've added back to his life, then an idea started brewing, I propped the groundhog on a 5 gallon bucket to make it look like he was getting a drink, and waited for dad to get home from church. I stood in the kitchen when he got home, while we were talking, I pointed past him out the window and said "Look at that brave SOB.". He didn't hesitate, down the hall and back with his 16 gauge! of all of his rifles, he grabbed a shotgun for a 50 yard shot! He slides the door open, shoulders the old H&R, and fires. The concussion almost blows the glass out of the door, but the shot does knock the dead whisle pig over, and peppers his water bucket with 50 or so holes. He lets out a victory howl, and yells "Its your hind end now Mr. postman.". We were inspecting the carcass, and I noted how the hole in its head looked an awful lot like a .22 shot from my truck, he looked me in the eye with disbelief at first then said "you owe me a bucket, and clean my shotgun too". He hasn't got me back...yet. Quote
