Fishing fever ? Had a fishing buddy/co-worker who tried to get out of work one day with that excuse; told his boss that the doctor diagnosed his condition as 'fishing fever' and told him he needed to go out and get worm guts and fish slime on his hands, as that was the only cure ! His boss, however, was not amused ! I guess some people just have no sense of humor !
It happens.
