I have always wondered what it means <br />when someone using oral means <br />says something so colloquial <br />that it is understood by all <br />except us foreigners of course <br />yes language, it is such a force! <br /> <br />A lady fishing from the bridge <br />her husband though had climbed a ridge <br />they were in heated competition <br />and liked the thought of going fishing. <br /> <br />A tug was felt along her line <br />at first she felt she should recline <br />and pull until the fish came out <br />it probably would be a trout. <br /> <br />It did not work and hubby yelled <br />about the way his sweetheart held <br />the fishing pole, she called him 'stinker' <br />then she fell in, hook, line and sinker.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hook-line-and-sinker/
