A man was on the water for his weekly fishing trip. He began his day
with an 8-pound bass on the first cast and a 7-pounder on the second.
On the third cast he had just caught his first ever bass over 11 pounds
when his cell phone rang.
It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a
terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The man told
the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be there as soon
as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up
to be his best day ever on the water.
He decided to get in a couple of more casts before heading to the
hospital He ended up fishing the rest of the morning, finishing his
trip with a stringer like he'd never seen, with three bass over 10 pounds.
He was jubilant!
Then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty, he dashed to the
hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked a bout his wife's
condition.
The doctor glared at him and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished
your fishing trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you
were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the pond, your wife
has been languishing in the ICU! It's just as well you went ahead and
finished, because it will be, more than likely, the last fishing trip
you ever take!'
'For the rest of her life she will require 'round the clock care. And
you'll be her care giver forever!'
The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.
The doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just messin' with you. She's
dead. What'd you catch?'
I would never trade my wife for a day of fishing.......with that said.....That's funny stuff!
