The Recent ice fishing jokes reminds of one of my favorites.  I heard it
many years ago on the Carson show.

It seems these two rather wealthy gentlemen decided to take up ice fishing.
They loved to fish, lived in the northern country and always got
restless in the doldrums of winter.

So they outfitted themselves with all the finest in cold weather gear,
ice fishing equipment and a snow machine.  They went out on several
occasions, but were unsucessful.  This frustrated them because they were
both good fishermen in the warm months.  They read books, bought more
and better equipment, etc.  In other words, did all the things normal
fishermen do when not catching fish.

Well one day they were out on a lake, unsuccessful as usual, and were
watching the other fishermen making an occasional catch.  There was, however,
a young lad of about twelve.  This youngster was underdressed,
had only a hand line (no pole) and looked as if he would catch his death at
any minute.  He was, however, catching one fish after another.

Finally, not being able to stand it any longer our heroes decide to ask the
boy his secret.  They agree to pay him handsomely since he looks as if he
could use it.

They approach him and ask if they can talk with him.  Shivering he nods
and, they offer him their proposition.  He again nods while shivering
intensly, stopping only to haul in another fish.

One of the gentlemen asks "what is the secret of your success?"

"Yug humta yug wump" he replies.

"Beg pardon" they say.

"Yug humta yug wump" he again replies.

"I'm sorry young fella but we can't understand you".

To with the lad spits into his hand a large wad and replies,

"you have to keep your worms warm!"
