The Lord of Ice

HERES SOMETHIN TO LAUGH AND ENJOY...HAVE A GREAT DAY AND BE IT BLESsED WITH WONDERFUL EVENTS....

A guy decided he needed something new and different for a winter hobby.

He went to the bookstore and bought every book he could find on ice

fishing. For weeks he read and studied every book, hoping to become an

expert in the field. Finally, he decided he knew enough, and out he went

for his first ice fishing trip. He carefully gathered up and packed all

the tools and equipment needed for the excursion. Each piece of equipment

had its own special place in his kit.

When he got to the ice, he found a quiet little area, placed his padded

stool, and carefully laid out his tools. Just as he was about to make his

first cut into the ice, a booming voice from the sky bellowed.

"There are no fish under the ice!"

Startled, he grabbed all his belongings, moved further along the

ice, poured some hot chocolate from his thermos, and started to cut a new

hole.

Again, the voice from above bellowed. "There are no fish under the ice!"

Amazed, he wasn't quite sure what to do, as this certainly wasn't

covered in any of his books. He packed up his gear and moved to the far

side of the ice. Once there, he stopped for a few moments to regain his

calm. Then he was extremely careful to set everything up perfectly --

tools in the right place, chair positioned just so, everything.

The voice came again, "There are no fish under the ice!"

Petrified, he looked skyward and asked "Is that you, Lord?"

The voice boomed back, "No, this is the Manager of the skating rink!"
