I do however feel that to avoid any further upset some explanation is in order:
The condoms :
you found are used as a fly tying material to manufacture scud back and various larva imitations, you can check this out on the fly talk website.
Further:
The nail polish:
is for sealing the heads of flies once their manufacture has been completed.
The lace panties:
Provide a ready source of fine rubber legs for my stonefly and cicada patterns.
The stockings with the bite marks in them:
Darling these are not bite marks they are small incisions where I have removed tiny pieces of the mesh to make suspender nymphs...honestly look at Brian Clarke's
"The trout and the fly".
The lubricant:
Makes for an excellent leader sink.
The feather boa:
Well it is far cheaper than buying packeted feathers for my streamer patterns darling, which of course saves me money to take you out to dinner.
The body stocking:
Is the only source I could find for Nylon organza a required component of many of Ed Herbst's patterns.
I trust that this explanation will put your mind at ease darling.
As to the letter:
"Dear John,
you were an animal last night, are we banned from that motel for ever or do you think we can book in under anther name? "
Sorry sweetheart I have absolutely no idea where that came from or how it got to be under the driver's seat of my car.
Love you lots.
John
PS I would like to point out that the tip section of my new Sage Z axis is not really suitable for cleaning the drain, I trust that you will desist from using it for that purpose.
