    The second glance at the Bill Ayers photo....

    It appears a hateful fisher guy who was 99?

    Tripped Bill and Ayers fell into a tackle box?

    A rusty fish hook in the ear is still dangling.

    Ayers was a college 'bean' ball pitchpitcher?

    My great Uncle Tom was sad ref: FBI snoop.

    Uncle Thomas James had a sad job. He fed.

    Uncle Thomas would get misty eyed. dead.

    Uncle Thomas mentions the incite "words"

    I wish he'd take me fishing for whiskey cats.

    Cats and dogs love to go trout trolling? huh.

    No. The damn critters drank root beer. burp.
