When my friends and I went out of Biloxi, we flew into Nawlins. My one friend had a new rig he wanted to try out and packed it in a heavywall cardboard tube and taped it up with duct tape. He checked it at the ticket counter. IIRC, the airline misplaced it, and it caught up to us at the casino we were staying at the next day, none the worse for wear.

Whatcha gon' do is, when you hop off the bird, have Fred and Barney carry you on over to the nearest creek, and pick you the longest switch you can find. Oughtta be able to find some cane around thar. Tie you uh length o' twine to the end, and buy you a hook from the po' boy on the corner for $.02. Catch you a mighty fine catfish, I reckon.

Ya know? I think now that you mention it, my friend used PVC pipe, not a cardboard tube. Only five years ago and I can't remember. I must be getting senile.
