Boy: "Dad, how was your fishing trip?"
Dad: "Got myslef a 165 lb dying suicidal guy"
Boy: "You got one of those?"
Dad: "Yeah, I sure did. But, the one you had on the line last spring was much bigger"
Or something like that....
Fisherman hooks drowning man, reels him in

HALLOWELL, Maine — A Maine angler used his fishing rod to reel in a man who survived a jump from a bridge and was drowning in the Kennebec River.
Bob Greene of Hallowell says he heard what he thought was a cormorant making noise in the distance 4:30 a.m. Thursday as he was having his coffee and reading his newspaper. He says about 20 minutes passed before he realized there was a man bobbing down the river.
Greene says his first instinct was to jump in but a 911 dispatcher told him to throw something to the man. So he snagged the man’s shirt with a fishing lure and reeled him in. The man was in critical condition at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
Wonder which bridge? There are a million of themin Portland. I just get a feeling it might've been the one Devyn and me had to cross after a few drinks in Portland last month. I'll include a picture of me drinking one Portland's finest microbrews. Actually it was like a Big Bear. Yup.
