Bad Practice

{continuing a conversation that revolved around one of our distant colleagues and his "cast a wide net" approach to getting a date with a woman}

"That's totally not my style," my colleague says. "I'm laid back, I prefer being the mysterious type."

"I don't talk to women there either," I say, "unless they're right next to me."

"I'm not talking just there," my colleague says, "but overall."

"Ah, you mean women in general."

"Yeah, instead of casting a wide net-"

"Fishing with a worm," I say.

"Not even," my colleague says. "Fishing like the Indians, with your bare hands....although they used spears."
