The rain had stopped and there was a large puddle just outside the door to the American Legion hall. A rumpled old Coast Guard Chief was standing near the edge with a fishing line in the puddle.
A curious young Marine fighter pilot came over to him and asked what he was doing.
"Fishing," the old Chief simply said.
"Poor old chief," the Marine officer thought to himself and invited the old Coast Guard Chief into the bar for a drink.
As he felt he should start a conversation while they were sipping their spirits, the young jet pilot winked at another pilot and asked the Chief, "How many have you caught today?"
"You're number 14," the old Chief answered, taking another sip from his double shot of 12-year-old Scotch, "2 Air Force, 3 Army, 1 Navy and 8 Marines."
Ha ha, good on the old chief, didn't see that coming lol. Thank you Jack and Cat :)
