Cause your dad is a thrifty shopper. And as the old saying goes has a cast iron stomach.

And how come Mom doesn’t buy a half rack of beer like you Dad?

And why does Bleeb have a Halo? We all know he is far from innocent.

Oh, and go Penn State Nittany Lions……. Hey, it’s on the T-shirt.

And don’t even get me started on sushi!

Always wondered how you got baited breath!

Because she loves you but isn’t as savvy a shopper as Dad. (Life lesson learned, never pull Dads finger.)

Kentucky fried bait mmmm

The look on the kid to the left’s face… 8-I

Budget sashimi?

Never understood how that attracted fish, gross.

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm!BUCKET-O-CHUM ® ….. with mashed potatoes and coleslaw!

When I was a kid, I went to the golf course one time with my ol’ Grampa, and it was TEXAS hot! We were near a water hazard that was the size of a pond. Ol’ Grampa could see that I was miserably hot and said: “Dobe, if ya wanna cool off a little, I wouldn’t mind if you took a dip in that pond.” Of course, what kid would refuse that!? So I jumped in!

About then, ol’ Grampa called out: “Yo, Dobe! While yer in there, see if you can find my putter!”

Like I said before, there was always a price to be paid for being a kid.

Bleeb, you might not want to hang out there, you might be considered bait.

Ready-chopped ceviche; just add lime juice.

I learned how to fish from my brother. He calls it an addiction and I find it very catching…

The fishy smell must have attracted Bleeb to the bait shop.

You know the old saying, “One man’s chum is another man’s fish.”

I wonder why Bleeb’s in a bait shop.
