Had a neighbor, an old man at the time.

Probably apocryphal, this was told to me as true. I think it's a bit too good for that, but what do I know?

This neighbort belonged to a flyfishing club of equally old men, they had all known each other for 50 years. (That is true.) Apparently there was a genial hatred between two of the guys, and an agreement to mute the expressions of that disregard in respect to the rest of the people.

My neighbor told me of visiting the one of the guys in the dispute in the hospital with the other one. There are three of them in the room, one in bed, the other two sitting. The well guy says to the sick guy:

"Y'know Harry, we've had our differences, but when you die I'm going to by a fifth of the finest Scotch money can buy and pour it over your grave."

"Bert, that's nice. I wouldn't have expected that."

"Don't worry. I'm going to drink it first."
