Man was on the water for his weekly fishing trip. He began his
day with an 8 Lb walleye on the first cast and a 7 Lb on the
second. On the
third cast he had just caught his first ever walleye 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 3 walleye 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 about his wife's condition. The doctor glared at
him and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished your fishing 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 kiddin' ya. She's dead. What'd
you catch?'
