For some reason unknown, my Grandfather used to say this every time we hit shore again, even if it was just me in the boat with him:

"Everybody out of the bus"

[Hammer Handle]

"Take your shirt off so the mosquitoes stay off of me."

"Hear that bass?" (after he farts).

"They all taste the same!" (after he tosses that tiny sunny into the pail).

"Darn seagulls!" (after he splashes a little water on your head).

"What a plan! You catch the salad, I will catch the meat." (as you reel in a pile of weeds).

[DeathRoe]

"6 A.M.? It's too early to pick up chicks, let's go ice fishing"
