The novice ice fisherman wasn't having any luck, but another man nearby was pulling up fish through the ice. "What's your secret?" the newcomer asked.
"Mmmpximdafltmm," mumbled the man.
"I am sorry, I couldn't understand you," said the novice.
"Mmmpximdafltmm!" the fisherman mumbled again.
The neophyte shook his head and began to turn away, when the other man held up his hand. Spitting twice into his coffee cup, he said, "You've got to keep the worms warm!"
