Ice fishing

Do you remember Darrell Thompson? He used to work over at the Conoco station in Ash Flat, Arkansas. Darndest thing happened, he went fishin and almost got religion. Seems a friend he knew from the army invited him up to Michigan, way up north. They had a good time together and his friend wanted to take him ice fishing. It seems like it's a tradition up there that you have to go to a tavern and drink beer for about three hours before you go out on the ice.
Old Darrell and his buddy were just finishing up at the tavern, when his buddy got a call from his wife. He had to go home right away.
Darrell had to leave the next day, but he didn't want to miss the ice fishing. Even though it was dark outside, he had all the equipment in his car, so he figured he’d go by himself.
He drove down the road and found a likely lookin’ spot. He carried his stuff out on the ice and then started choppin a hole with a big ice chisel.
Pretty soon he heard a voice say, "You will find no fish beneath the ice."
He looked all around and couldn't see nothing but dark. The wind was blowing and it was mighty cold, but nobody was around. He started choppin again and the voice came back, "You will find no fish beneath the ice."
This really shook him up. He looked all around; he was the only one out there. He started choppin' some more.
The voice came back again, this time it was thunderin loud. "You will find no fish beneath the ice." Then the whole lake lit up just like it was daylight. This scared old Darrell really bad. He dropped down to his knees and put his hands together to pray. He looked up at the sky and said, "Is that you God?"
The voice came back and said, "No. I'm the manager of the ice skating rink."
I don't think old Darrell will ever go back up North.
