I copied from another, too funny I had to share
A Land Surveyor dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, “Ah, you’re a Land Surveyor — you’re in the wrong place.” So the surveyor reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the surveyor gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts implementing and building improvements. After a while, they’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the surveyor is a pretty popular guy. One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, “So, how’s it going down there in hell?” Satan replies, “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this guy is going to come up with next.” God replies, “What??? You’ve got a Land Surveyor? That’s a mistake–he should never have gotten down there; send him up here.” Satan says, “No way. I like having a Land Surveyor on the staff, and I’m keeping him.” God says, “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.” Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?”

As a son of a Surveyor, which became a family of surveyors, I have a different outlook on nature.
When I was about 5...maybe 6 my twin brother and I became ditch crawlers. We would scour the ditch behind our house catching, chasing anything that hopped, skipped, slithered...we had to catch it !
Then we learned on how to set traps...we taught ourselves how to catch by observing how we found what we were looking for...crawdads liked a little dam in the crick to sn**ch the minnows as they tried to travel upstream competing with the turtles.
Frogs sat gently on the bank waiting on a stray as well as the water snakes waiting on them to make a mistake.
Then you jump up into the blackberry bushes and stickers and we would lay down pieces of plywood and scrap to catch scorpions (which love cardboard paper), rat snakes, ringneck snakes and garter snakes. They all wanted cover from the sun and shelter from the birds.
We were known on the block to be crazy, we dragged home alligator snapping turtles, softshell turtles, if you can name it we could get it ! If I survived that I can survive this Coronvirus thing.
My parents divorced and we moved to a new hunting ground, I think I turned 9 when we moved....Wells Lake, McGirts Creek, I will continue later if I get 1 positive response.
Story's true...two 11 caught by hand with a crew of kids between the ages of 9-11 years old, several 3' long alligator garfish caught by hand..same crew !
