lee,

I flyfish and golf, so what does that make me?

btw, since you're a scuba/flyfishing guy, have you ever dove in a trout stream? something I'd like to do myself, but, being from hawaii, I have coldaphobia.

Actually, it is considered one of the things Twain is supposed to have said, but for which no citation can actually be found. (Same as "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.")

One wag has put it, "Most of what has been attributed to Mark Twain was actually said by Yogi Berra."

No, Babe, I don't play golf. I went through a phase of trying to learn it, in high school, but I could never swing worth a tinkers cuss.

The "good walk spoiled" line is from, who else, Mark Twain. Between Twain and Angelo, harldy any memorable sayings or stories originate elsewhere.

My favorite afternoon would be a 2 hour lunch with Angelo, followed by a 1-1/2 hour break with Pudd'nhead Wilson. Life couldn't get no better than that.

By the way, the shortest set of tees are not the "ladies" tees. They are simply the shortest set of tees, to be used by shorter hitters, be they of either sex.
