@A-Unique-Nickname saidIn the Maritime Provinces the seagulls are either too rude to wait for the sardines to be tossed, or so tame they will eat them out of your hand (not sure which).
When the seagulls follow the trawler it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
@Very-Rusty saidHave you ever smelt a scene?
Have you ever seen a smelt, pretty much the same thing. I have eaten sardines out of the can and made sardine sandwiches for a snack. They are generally a little smaller than a smelt.
Have you ever went ice fishing for smelts or caught them when they are swimming up a brook with your hands?? I've done both. 🙂 You have to have quick hands, don't think I could do it now as the years have taken their toll on me.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidThought I might have heard some finger-snapping in the back of the club. 😉
I didn't hear any applause.
Tea anyone?
Not that I'm a tea connoisseur, but what kind of tea is on offer today, you self-important man-harridan?
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidIt's okay. I just hope you don't use a dead elephant's foot for your umbrella stand, because that would be both incongruent and rather disappointing.
No tea for you sir.
To better days!
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidAlso, I think we would agree it's better to brew one's own tea -- by analogy, I would try to avoid doing tricks where someone else is trusted to handle the cards.
No tea for you sir.
@Great-Big-Stees saidMaybe burn it to the ground and dance around the fire?
That seems a wee bit harsh. 😲 How ‘bout a group hug and try to “get along” (little doggie).🤔👍😁
(But I'd still be particular about who'd be to my right and to my left.)
@Great-Big-Stees saidI guess I'll just finish up my remaining games then. I did appreciate your mild sense of humor over the years, though.
You can chose your friends but not family or “neighbours”.🤔
@Arkturos saidAre you trying to say you are Devil Diver? 😛
Thank you for completely trampling on the applause for my joke. 😉
