ALTONA, MB
Area man Neil Reimer has been awakened from his meddaschlop this afternoon to attend to an emergency at the Klassen gathering.
“Get here fast, Neil,” said Mrs. Klassen, “and bring your rod and reel”
Reimer was also instructed to bring his tackle box and fish finder.
“We’ve got a particularly stubborn pickle floating down there,” said Klassen. “Tried to jab it with my fork, but I couldn’t get a hold of it.”
Reimer spent a good two hours trying out all his lures to snag that feisty dill, but to no avail.
“I didn’t get it this time, but it’ll give me a good story to tell,” said Reimer. “That thing was massive. Never seen one that big. Probably was a master angler, too.”
Reimer will have to be content with the various taxidermy pickles he has on display in his living room.
“Guess I won’t be adding a trophy to my wall this year,” said Reimer. “It was the pickle that got away.”
