Got a fishing story you'd like to share?

 Be careful where you put the nozzle, from Marco,From: Marco This is a story that a mate of mine recently told me (without shame). Thought I'd share it with you guys, as I still haven't stopped laughing. So here it goes... My mate (won't mention his name but it could be GARY!) had just purchased a new boat, a 16-footer I believe with a 60 litre fuel tank. Well, on his maiden voyage with his new boat he went to the servo in the morning to fill up and as he looked at the fuel gauge it was reading 90, 100, 110 litres and still rising. He thought that the manufacturers had made some sort of mistake with his tank and was over the moon about how much fuel his little 16 footer could hold. It got up to 147 litres when he decided he wouldn't need much more than that (unless he was going to Tasmania). So he went and paid up and made his way to the boat ramp. Couldn't wait to get it into the water and begin fishing. Now, hehehe, get ready for this... Upon his arrival at the boat ramp he put his boat in the water and went to park the car. When he got back to his boat he noticed a very strong smell of petrol. When he hopped into his boat to start the engine he realised he had just stepped into a boat full of petrol and when he looked underneath the seat there was petrol gathered everywhere at the back of the boat. This is the funny bit... he then told me that he realised he had put the petrol pump nozzle in one of ROD HOLDERS!!! hehehe... No wonder it wouldn't fill up. Till this day whenever we go to the servo to fill up the boat I always think of that tale. Hope you had a good laugh, regards, Marco. (20 March 2003) |
