23.Not the sharpest knife in the draw

If you a person interested in piscatorial pursuits and meet a person who is in a predicament, there are three options open to you. One, walk on by, having taking the piss out of them. Secondly you could deliberately make the matter worse for the unsuspecting fisher person by feeding them with useless and unhelpful information and then take the piss of out them or finally you could take the piss of out them after explaining their total lack of angling accruement, help them and then take the piss out of them behind their backs when in the company of your boating partners.
 Of course, Phil took the third option. Explaining the perils of granny knots and not doing grannies properly, he eventually managed to bring some order to the young lad’s terminal tackle. This process was eased by the fact that the person who needed the piscatorial help was a partial sub-normal, being as bright as a five watt bulb. Talking of “doing grannies”, Phil was careful not to mention it in front  of Jimmy, he case he became hot and bothered and blew a fuse.
The thing about people classified as” not being the sharpest knife in the draw” is that they often suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)and we found this poor guy still fishing in the same spot four hours later.
OCD is often associated with some conditions such as hoarding, both sexual and aggressive impulses, both nervous and perfectionist habits, having once read about this treatise offered by Sigmund Freud, Jimmy pronounced “Aren’t you glad boys that we’re nothing like that! Speak for yourself “replied Billy and Phil in unison.”” I wasn’t “said Jimmy.” I was speaking on both of your behalves.”
