“Counterpreneur.”

That’s a real bait and switch.

I wait for gags like that with baited breath.

Now this is one weird trick for baiting.

Gotta get up early to get worms.

He’s thinking about it.

I like the old saying about the two happiest days in a fisherman life. ’’The day he buys a boat, and the day he sells it!"

Bait and boat!!!!!

He carries only the best bait, Master Bait.

I’ve been laughing at this off and on for the past five minutes.

I bet he has dynamite… you know, for when they stop biting.

Get the boat first. They you will have an expensive hole in the water to carry your worms.

Upselling. The real profit is in the accessories. Thirty-five dollars for a nail clipper on a chain to cut your line. Vintage wine cork bobbers (collect every year!)

No, thank you.

find another bait store…

The convention over, alternate fake elector Bob goes back to his shop.

Trying to hook in another sucker.

That’s a hull of an offer.

If I can get the boat for the price of the worms?

Explain that to the wife, “You went to get bait and you wind up with a boat?”.

I’d go for that!

Well, your weekend’s ruined, so you might as well go fishing.

You have a gift Mike.
