Fishing games

Today and tomorrow are holidays in Ukraine and probably Monday too if I looked it up.

As a consequence my neighbours have invited me to go drinking fishing and I am tempted even with a 4am start.

Which reminds me of the story I was told by an agronomist pal when, back in the day he was invited to go drinking fishing with his pal who just happened to work for the secret service.

When the fishing wasn't up to much and the vodka was starting to take effect his KGB mate opened his bag to reveal a hand grenade, presumably standard issue at the time.

As we all know great ideas are often borne under the influence and this was one of those days, "let's lob the grenade into the river then we could just scoop up the fish when they all float to the surface?"

What could possibly go wrong?

Hand grenade lobbed, big explosion, then the river bank they were standing on started to give way and slide in to the water taking them, their fishing kit and their Lada in to the water.

How they laughed...I guess.
