I have seen a pocket fisherman, dressed in a green pointy hat, with big pointed sticky out ears. He sits motionless at the village pond with a stoney expression on his face. He never baits his hook, which explains why he never catches anything!

Funny you should say that, mostly bird droppings I think, but maybe some moss here and there.

You know, Ray, that's why the economy's so bad now.  People blame mortgage forclosures, and unemployment and nobody spending, but it's really all this regifting and hanging around gathering moss and bird droppings.

Ruth and Denz,

I have to give you guys credit for some very 'out of the box' thinking on the economy. I never assiciated bird droppings and moss with the recession. You are probably right. Talk about the Gnomes of Zurich !

Well that's out of the box thinking too, Ray.  Garden gnomes can gather some pretty grungy layers of moss and droppings.  lol

And Denzil, yes, he is a whiz kid!!!
