Your Questions About Antique Fishing Lures

What is the funniest (blooper) or most embarassing thing that has ever happened to you or a friend?

I’d love to hear some funny stories! I have a few great ones. I’m a natural blond and you’ll soon believe that LOL. I’ll try to make it short but here’s a really funny one!

My mom wanted me to a protective wood coat on their wooden storage shed. My dad stores his antique in it. She told me that the protective coat stuff and the brushes were in our old smaller shed. She said to make sure that I used the correct stuff and to ask her if I wasn’t sure. She said it should take 2 hours at the most.

Well, I pried off the top of the first pail (which took forever) and I thought it was really dark and it was super thick but didn’t think much of it. I took it over there and I started but it was taking FOREVER. I also thought it was odd it was black and so tar like but thought it would lighten up. My hands were killing me and was an hour into it and had only 1/2 of a door done. I finally said “Forget this! I give up!” and angerily stormed off. I told my mom there was no way I could do the whole thing, it would take me days. She said “that’s ridiculous!” and went out there. She came back in laughing.

I had “BLACKTOPPED” the door with the black tar stuff for our driveway!
Needless to say, everyone had a good laugh over that one! We couldn’t get it off but at least that door is pretty well protected!

Another shorter funny story is how we were fishing the other day and we aked a guy what kind of lure he was using and he said a something willy. He was catching fish like crazy. I couldn’t remember what the guy said so I asked my friend and he told me it was a “Willy Wacker”. So I went into the fishing store the other day and asked the salesman where the “Willy Wackers” were at! Yeah, he gave me a really strange look and laughed and told me we have lures that the brand name is “willy” but not what you just said! I asked my friend about it and he laughed really hard and said “You didn’t know what a willy whacker was?”. HA HA.
