Site of the Week - The Truth About Being A Bass Fisherman's Wife - http://www.basswives.com - 
She says "This book is an outrageous look at bass fishing through a woman's perspective.  Anyone who is married to a bass fisherman or even knows one will roar with laughter at the hilarious tales that expose the believe-it-or-not idiosyncrasies of the odd creature known as the Bass Fisherman.

Joke for this Week - A Clever Excuse  - A man in his 40's bought a new BMW and was out on the Pacific Highway for a nice evening drive. The top down, breeze blowing through what was left of his hair, and he decided to open her up.  As the needle went over 140 km/h, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him.

"There's no way they can catch my BMW," he thought to himself and opened her up further.  The needle hit 160, 180.... then the reality of the situation hit him.  "What am I doing?" he thought and pulled over.

The cop came up to him, took his license without a word, and examined it and the car.  "It's been a long day, this is the end of my shift, and it's Friday. I don't feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go."

The guy thinks for a second and says, "Last week my wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back."

"Have a nice weekend," said the officer.
