Reminds me of a little poem I once wrote

Fly Swaps; in Generalities

Sitting before my desk, I am amazed at the array
of tools, fur, feathers, tinsels, and threads of every color.
Oh, and the expense, road kill is not cheap.

Those inclined to indulge in dressing a hook seem
to do so for the visual pleasure of other fishermen.
But, most importantly the fish don’t care.

That's an easy one. If she wakes, you say you stopped in a vain attempt to save the poor thing's life. Instant "sensitive guy" points. Unless, of course, she knows you too well... Dozing wife?

Instant “sensitive guy” points. Unless, of course, she knows you too well…

That's how bad it is. If we saw a couple of packs of ostrich herl or a prime bucktail on the shoulder, we'd stop for sure.
