A Fisherman's Take on Original Sin and Total Depravity

We ask a simple question
And that is all we wish:
Are fishermen all liars?
Or do only liars fish?

~by William Sherwood Fox, Silken Lines and Silver Hooks, 1954



Overheard:

Two men in a boat:

One said to the other, "All fishermen are liars, except you and me; and sometimes I am not so sure about you."
