Friends fish. Friends catch fish. Friends take me fishing. The fish laugh!
One time a friend guaranteed that I would catch fish if I went with him. Despite my protestations I finally acceded and joined him. I used his rod and the same bait. I sat next to him and watched as he caught fish while I sat and got a sunburn.
He offered advice, nothing. Finally, he handed me his pole and took mine. He continued to catch fish with the pole and bait I had been using while I sat dejectedly watching the fish swim past me.
In a final act of desperation I threw all my bait into the water and watched the fish go into a feeding frenzy. They knew, all along, that their patience was greater than mine.
