Fishing?

Girl 1: Do you want to fish?
...
Girl 1: Well?
Girl 2: No.
Girl 1: Why?
Girl 2: Well...
Girl 1: Why?
Girl 2: Well...
Girl 1: Well, why?
Girl 2: I don't have a rod.

She doesn't have a rod. I don't know why she's so embarrassed to admit that.

Girl 1, why are you being  so pushy?

STORY TIME

I used to fish with my bio-dad a lot. And one summer morning, years after this gem of comic strip with a tap-line where it's punchline should be, my brother, Jason, and I got up early to go fishing in Big Wheeling Creek. We didn't catch anything. But we had a sparkly purple crawfish lure, and somehow Jason hooked himself in the nose with it. That was the day I learned what both "tin snips" and "bacitracin" were.
