[cool]C'mon guys. We fishermen do not use such terms as "dynamite" and hand grenades. That's too coarse. Inasmuch as much of the explosives used in those goodies is made by Dupont, we simply call them "Dupont Spinners".
I always liked the joke about the good old boy that was stopped by the fish and game officer while driving into town with a load of fish in the back of his pickup. The officer knew the guy, of course. That's that way it always works in small towns down south.
The officer says "You know I gotta write you up. You got way over your limit."
The fisherman says "I'm sorry. I found a new fishing spot, and before I knew it I had a full boat. I couldn't waste them so I brought em all home."
The officer was a fishermen too, and he was excited about the prospects of finding a good new fishing spot. So he made the fisherman an offer. "If you show me your spot, I won't write you this ticket."
The fisherman happily agreed and set up a meeting at daybreak the next day to take the officer fishing. They motored out in the fisherman's boat and then stopped and tossed over the anchor. The fisherman opened his tackle box, took out a stick of dynamite, lit the fuse and tossed it into the water. BOOM. Fish came floating up all over the place.
The officer couldn't believe his eyes. He said "Man, now you done it. You can't be usin' dynamite. Now I really gotta give you a ticket."
But, before the officer could even get his ticket book open, the fisherman handed him another stick of dynamite, with the fuse lit, and simply asked "Hey, are you gonna talk or are you gonna fish?"
