Man's Favorite Sport?

Some men are good

at hunting quail

Some like to sail

While others like to box

Some men prefer to surf

While others

like the turf

And lose a lot of money on thejocks

Some men sayjudo

is their dish

While others fish

Where mountain waters swirl

But let a girl appear

He'll pursue her

And run his fingers

through her curls

And that's the way

it's been

Since the world began

The favorite sport of man

Is girls

Some men put on

an aqualung

And swim among

The barnacles and pearls

But let a doll appear

He'll pursue her

And run his fingers

through her curls

And that's the way it's been

Since the world began

The favorite sport

of man

Is girls

Sorry.

I wasn't looking.

Hey, you can go now!

I beg your pardon.

Well, hi.

Um, I-I was going to

park here.

- How can you? I'm already here.

- I can see that.

But you'll have to move.

This is my place.

How could it be your place when I'm

already in it? I park here every day.

- Hey, buddy, this your car?

- Yes, officer, it is.

- Can't leave it here.

- Uh, I'll move it in a minute.

- If you don't, you'll find a ticket on it.

- Right away, officer.

Now, look, young lady...

You'd better move your car.

I think he meant what

he said. See that number?

Of course I see that number. It's 19.

- Well, I'm 19.

- You look older to me, but you never can tell.

Oh, we're not talking

about my age.

I know, but we've already

discussed the parking.

I shouldn't be

in a spot like this.

I don't think so either. Couldn't you

find a better place to propose to her?

Step on it. It's after

9:
00. I'm not proposing!

Are we late?

Not if we hurry.

Better luck next time. You

can't leave your car here!

I already have, but if you

want to move it, go on ahead.

- I don't want to move your car!

- Good. Then just leave it right where it is.

She's not gonna

get away with this.

I'll fix her.

Hi, officer. Find what

you're looking for?

I wasn't looking

for anything.

You weren't? Just

trying to start this car.

Interesting way of doing it. You mind

telling me why? So I could move it.

- This isn't your car?

- No, it belongs to the girl that just left.

- But she's a friend of yours.

- I never saw her before.

This is getting more

interesting by the minute.

Better let me

see your license.

I, uh, must have dropped it

or something.

Here it is.

Well, well, well. Would you mind

hurrying? I'm late enough as it is.

Simmer down, Abigail.

"Abigail"? That's what

it says right here.

Let me see that.

This isn't mine! You don't know

how happy I am to hear that.

Here it is.

Roger Willoughby, hmm? Yeah.

You say you don't even know

this Abigail Page. No, I don't!

Officer, look,

this is all very simple.

The young lady parked

in my parking space.

I work here...

Abercrombie and Fitch.

I tried to explain to her, but the whole

thing got confused. You said it was simple.

It should've been,

but you know women.

She's the kind that gets you

confused. I meet 'em every day.

She said she was in a hurry. Then

they both started talking. "They"?

By that time there were two of

them. Two? You were in a spot.

Yeah. She said I could move the car if I

wanted to, but she left both doors locked.

Screwy story.

You think I made it up? No,

no. It's too real for that.

I got no reason,

but I believe you.

Well, if I could just

have my driver's license.

Well, I'll need it for

another minute. What for?

I can't give you a ticket without

a license. A ticket for what?

For leaving that car over there.

That's the one you should have moved.

Oh, Roger. There are

some customers waiting for you.

I got held up. Who's

first? Major Phipps.

He's been in rod and reels since the

store opened, and you know the major.

Mr. Willoughby, I wanted to ask you

about the best way to catch northern pike.

Well, sir. Uh, Joe.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Meanwhile, letJoe show you the new

nylon lines that came in yesterday.

They'll be

well worth your while.

Good morning,

Major Phipps.

Fourteen minutes and thirty

seconds. I beg your pardon?

That's how long I've been waiting

for you. I'm terribly sorry.

I had a little problem in the

parking lot. Let's stop wasting time.

I can get out of a couple of

board meetings next week...

and make the tournament

at... Lake Wakapoogee?

Splendid, splendid.

What can I help you with?

Rods, reels, lines, lures, spinners,

flies, bugs, spoons... the whole mess!

I see.

Well, then, let's, uh...

Let's start with the rods.

Cornerstone of the outfit, you know.

Let's see here.

Gonna win this year, Major?

I intend to keep on trying.

Good.

Oh, here we are.

This is the one

I would recommend.

Good morning, Tom!

It's light, flexible,

strong, perfectly balanced.

How does it feel?

Light.

Would you like to try to make

a cast? Yes, I think I would.

Mmm. Oh! Look at that.

L- I-It's my arm.

Machine gun bullets

during the war.

I can't get movement...

I'm ashamed of you.

Why? Haven't you read my book?

Of course I have.

Every word of it.

It says here on page 21, I think...

Yes. "You need

very little movement...

to make a good cast with a spinning

reel." I must've missed that.

Tom, show the major

a couple of casts...

and I'll explain it

to him as you go.

Now remember, Major,

10:
00 position first,

10:
00 position first.

Then 11:
00,

11:
00. Higher.

Then forward to 9:00. Try it, Tom. 9:00.

You see?

Isn't that pretty?

10:
00, 11:00, 9:00.

10:
00, 11:00, 9:00.

Try it again.

See? Very little

wrist movement.

Would you like to try it,

Major? I certainly would.

Now remember,

gently.

10:
00, 11:00,

9:
00.

Gently. 10:
00,

11:
00, 9:00.

Hey! Look at that!

Good! Good!

Roger, what would I do

without you?

I wish you were going to stay at

the lake during the tournament.

Why haven't you ever

entered the tournament?

I don't seem to have enough

time. Well, you should.

It's a rod, all right. What

kind of fish should I go after?

Bass, trout,

blue gills?

Let's see... Last year the

Wakapoogee was won with a bass.

Six pounds, eight ounces, I believe.

I know! I saw that old goat

Harvey Skaggs land the fish!

He used a plug, a green

Plunking Dingbat.

That's not what I asked you!

This isn't last year!

I want to know what to use

this year! Let's see, Major.

Roger! Phone.

Yeah? Oh.

Excuse me, Major.

I'll be right back.

- Good morning. Willoughby speaking.

- Roger, this is Jim Stern.

- Yeah, Jim?

- Listen, I'm up here at Lake Wakapoogee...

and I got the doggonedest

string of fish you've ever seen.

Well, good for you.

Um... Jim, what kind of

fish did you go after?

- Trout, like you suggested.

- And what would you say is the best time of day?

Between 10:
00 and 11:00 in the

morning. 10:
00 and 11:00 in the morning.

Uh-huh. What was the water

temperature? 68 degrees.

68 degrees. And how deep did you go?

Just below the surface. I

started with a Colorado Spinner...

- and ended with a Super-Duper.

- I see.

Well, thank you, Jim.

I appreciate your calling.
