This game is a little different than your standard fishing game because you can’t really use worms or flies as bait and expect to catch many quarters. Also, it is next to impossible to catch quarters by fishing in water. Sure, there are fountains and wishing wells full of quarters, but these prove to be tricky to fish out using a pole. The two environments I’ve found that are suitable for quarter fishing are the bank and the McDonalds drive-thru. In the case of fishing at the bank I prefer to use fairly simple bait. A brief note explaining your intention to slay everyone in the place if you’re not reeling in a bag of quarters in the next two minutes always seems to work*. Occasionally, bank employees might think you are joking. They may even laugh. It is moments such as these that I like to carry a second fishing pole to either cast in a second note that reads, “This is no laughing matter,” or cast in something that proves I mean business. Such objects include a squirrel’s head or a human finger. Human fingers are sometimes difficult to procure and often times I am too squeamish to extract the cranium of a squirrel which leaves me with the second note strategy. I’ve also found that it doesn’t hurt to accompany the second note with a slicing-the-throat gesture with my finger. One important tip is to begin running as soon as you know the quarters have been hooked. Worry about reeling in the catch as you make your getaway. The McDonalds drive-thru works much the same way a bank works. Points work on how many gumballs you buy with the quarters. If you get 200 gumballs from the quarters you get 200 points. It is suggested that children under eight not play this game. Children under fourteen are required to have some sort of parental supervision. *Actually, this would never work. This game is based on stupidity and would probably result in jail time for anyone who attempted to play. game created by Mark Baumer
