Perfect days fishing
Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2007 3:52 amA guy is out on a fishing trip and is having a perfect day. First he lands a 20lb salmon on his first cast, on his second cast he lands a 10lb trout, then with his third cast he catches his first ever grayling. Then his mobile phone rings, it is the hospital to say his wife has had a serious accident and could he please rush to the hospital to be with her. The guy says he'll be there as quickly as he can and asks the doctor to tell his wife that.
He then realises that he'll be quitting on his best days fishing ever so he decides to get a couple more quick casts in before he packs up and leaves. He reels in a couple more fish and then guiltily remembers his wife, packs up and heads for his car.
When he gets to the hospital he bumps into the doctor in the corridor outside the Intensive Care unit and asks about his wifes condition. The doctor shouts at him "You went ahead and kept fishing didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! Whilst you were out enjoying yourself for the past four hours your wife has been languishing here in intensive care! For the rest of her life she'll need round-the-clock care and you'll be her carer!"
The man now feeling terribly guilty breaks down and starts crying.
"Only kidding" says the doctor "she died right after getting here! So what did you catch?"
