The novice angler


The novice angler wasn't having any luck, though another man nearby was pulling up fish 
after fish. "What's your secret?" the newcomer asked.
"Mmnnpximdafglymm," mumbled the man.
"I'm sorry but I didn't quite understand you," the novice apologised.
"Mmnnpximdafglymm," the fisherman repeated. The neophyte shook his head and began to turn away, but the other man held up his hand, spat twice into his coffee cup and explained, "You've got to keep the worms warm."
