A man was on the water for his weekly fishing trip.
He began his day with an 8 pound mud trout on the first cast and a 7
pounder
on the second. On the third cast he had just caught
his first ever rainbow 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 rainbow trout over 10 pounds.
He was jubilant.... Then he rememdered 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 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 fvcken' with ya. She's
dead.
What'd you catch?
