One night during the American Civil War there was a heavy rain and in the morning one soldier tied a string to his gun and began fishing in a shallow pool, regularly raising and lowering his gun as though it were a fishing pole. Finally, the captain noticed him. “ What're you doing here? ” the captain asked. No response. “ Halt! ” commanded the captain. No cessation in the fisherman's regular stroke. The colonel came. The captain's experience was repeated.The colonel called the surgeon, who recommended that the insane soldier be given a discharge. Before it was given to the soldier the colonel asked, “ What're you fishing for? ” No reply. “ Well, give him the discharge, ” continued the colonel, and the captain handed the document to the soldier, saying loudly, “ Here, take this! ” “ That's what I was fishing for, ” replied the soldier as he threw down his gun, pocketed the discharge and immediately left camp.
