Fishing Surgeons

When I was a kid, fishing with my dad, people were always amazed at my dad's technique for tying knots on his fish hooks. Nowhere else had anyone seen knots like that on a fishing line. It wasn't until recently that I found out. My aunt tells me that for a few years before I was born, my father had been a surgeon. Tying up surgical-grade sutures was a regular part of that job. I guess that with the frivolous nature of malpractice cases, he got tired of paying those exorbitant insurance premiums.
