We Reefers are quite the bunch

[paddyob]

I felt this was funny so thought I would share it...


Last night I was at a wedding here in Edmonton. I was at the bar talking to my wife's cousin and telling him about my new 70 gallon set up.

The bartender all of a sudden leans over and says "Sorry... but what do you have?"

I begin to tell him about my tank and he informs me he also has a salt water tank at home and proceeds to take out his iphone to show me pictures!! So what do I do... show pictures on my phone. HA HA HA!

I have to add that for about 5 minutes he ignored any other person at the bar to talk about his tank!

Does this make us nerds? Maybe a little obsessive? Carrying pictures of our tanks around... AND showing strangers that you discover have the same hobby?

We are quite the breed, us reefers. As many of us that are out there... it is a small community and always great to trade stories with another reefer!!

Anyhow... it made me laugh.
