I was leading a birding tour of four people once and the non-birding husband of
one of the birders kept whining about the chilly weather for May, the
mosquitos, the mud and the fact that he didn't want to be there. More than
once, he scared birds away with his loud complaining. By late morning, he
became so obnoxious, that I got fed up and stated that the tour was over - to
which he replied "Good! This bottle's almost empty anyway!" He then proceeded
to slug down the last few drops of a quart of Jack Daniels, and throw the empty
bottle in the marsh. I dropped them off at the country tavern where I had
picked them up that morning, got paid (he gave me a good tip!) and drove back
to the marsh and picked up the empty bottle.
In spite of the experience, I have much worse ones guiding
fishermen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
