Fishing over a beautiful bed of red roses:

A kind-hearted fellow was walking through Central
Park in New York and was astonished to see an
old man, fishing rod in hand, fishing over a
beautiful bed of red roses.

"Tsk Tsk!" said the passerby to himself. "What
a sad sight. That poor old man is fishing over
a bed of flowers. I'll see if I can help." So
the kind fellow walked up to the old man and
asked, "What are you doing, my friend?"

"Fishin', sir."

"Fishin', eh. Well how would you like to come
have a drink with me?"

The old man stood put his rod away and followed
the kind stranger to the corner bar. He ordered
a large glass of vodka and a fine cigar.

His host, the kind fellow, felt good about
helping the old man, and he asked, "Tell me,
old friend, how many did you catch today?"

The old fellow took a long drag on the cigar,
blew a careful smoke ring and replied, "You are
the sixth today, sir!"

Some of life's pleasures can be enjoyed in moderation. CA
