Well, I wasn't going to tell anyone about this, but here goes - Sometime
time last year, in an undisclosed stream, in an undisclosed part of the
continent, under the fishing license of an undisclosed authority having
jurisdiction, I captured a large (for its species) undisclosed species of
aquatic vertebrate (family undisclosed). I noticed a twinkle in it's "eye"
and peering down it's "throat" I was stunned to find the most incredible
(name of object undisclosed) that I have ever seen! Needless to say, I
have to end this tale here, because if I told you what happened next, you
wouldn't believe me!
