 Every now and then my fishing buddies get it in their heads that they can "Out-Macho" each other and once they even tried it on me... I believe that they play this game because they are married and aren't allowed to express the 'Machismo" at home... I guess.


 Well anyway, My buddies figured that they could set me up for a miserable day's fishing trip, by taking me out for a round of drinks about 5 hours before we had to get up at 4am for our fishing trip...


 The amount of beers and shots we had was a pretty good number and they were trying to make me drink more that I should... The fishing boat was going to be going out in pretty rough weather, and I sensed that they were going to use that fact and booze to make me "Sea sick", an "Un- Manly" condition, indeed... And then proceed to razz and "rag" on me for some "Macho" fun..


 Well, my good old Intuition had warned me about this little game, and I had prepared myself by eating a huge meal with a lot of bread and drinking some olive oil... The would help me flush out excess alcohol and the impurities that cause nausea... I also prepared a 'Special' lunch for myself...


 Surely that 4m hour came around, and I bounced up out of bed... The olive oil did it's job, very thoroughly, and I didn't feel any effects from the night's drinking... But my "Macho" buddies sure did, even if they were trying not to show it...


 We made the two hour drive to the fishing dock, and sure as the sun was rising, the weather was truly nasty-- High winds, blowing tides, snow flurries and achingly cold...


 The boat was a 70 footer, kind of small for a cod fishing trip, but she made it out of the Bay and into the open water, whilst being knocked around like a cat toy in a Lion's cage...


 My buddies sat there smirking at me while I pretended to feel wobbly... I even went outside the cabin a few times, to make them think them I was going to be sick...


 After a couple times of doing this, I announced that I was going to have a little lunch, and said that it would probably make me feel better...


 I opened my lunch bucket, and proceded to to make a sandwich out of my favorite things-- "Head cheese, Bloodwurst, liverwurst and Mayo (Lots of it!) and also opened the jar of Limeburger cheese dip, and proceeded to eat with gusto!


 The sight of me eating this disgusting meal sent those hungover idiots right to the rail... and the sound of them heaving was pure music to my ears! LOL! :)


 I even out fished them because they remained sick for the remainder of the trip-- Winning the pool for the biggest cod really drove home my point...


 And they NEVER tried the "Macho" test on me again! :)


 I wonder why?...... NOT! LOL! :)
