It reminds me of one time when I was fishing with a friend, and my line & lure went over a tree branch at the edge of the lake. He laughed at me, so I pretended that it was on purpose and slowly lowered the lure until it just touched the surface of the water. Then, I jiggled the lure, and a big fish snapped it up! He looked at me and said, "So, now I suppose you're going to claim that was on purpose?" I just gave him a big grin and didn't say anything, enjoying bringing my big fish in the boat. Whatever works, huh? By the way, I agree with Fernando that the guy was being a jerk. In an offhand game, to be so hard-assed is just plain ridiculous and anti-social. My guess is that, in time, nobody will want to play with him. Mark
