Eh, I'm done flogging that horse...
I got more of a rise out of your profile picture anyway. Nice dress.
LOL, I forgot all about that! Call me intolerant will ya, look at the clothes I go fishing in! Got quite a few raised eyebrows with that one.
Did you lose a fishing bet or something?
Kind of a long story but no, it wasn't a lost bet. A few years back I formed a fishing lure company, mainly producing large musky lures. We named one of our first lures the Call Girl, it's about 10" long and weighs about 6 ounces. It requires a huge package and one of our marketing schemes was to have a scantily clad woman printed on the package but mostly covered by the lure. You couldn't actually see the picture until you had purchased the lure and removed it from the blister pack.
Then I got the brainstorm that maybe one out of 100 or so lures would feature me in a dress holding a fish and looking like a sack of chit, I'd be the Call Girl. If you wound up with one of those it could be redeemed for a bunch of free lures. I went as far as having my wife photograph me with a few different fish species in a few different "outfits" but in the end I couldn't pull the trigger and actually do it so I scrapped the idea. I did have a sample package produced with me on it just to see how it would look, that's what really made me nix it. I think I have a scan of it on my home computer, if so I'll post it over the weekend. I think you'll agree that I made the right decision.
