A man went fishing.
He began his outing with a 12 lb walleye on the first trolling pass and a 25 lb northern on the second.
On the third drop he had just scored his first ever musky 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 in 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 ever fishing trip. He decided to get
in a couple of more passes before heading to the hospital.
He ended up catching several personal bests, limited out on three
species and all-in-all, had his best day's fishing by far. 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 kept fishing
didn't you?! I hope you're proud of yourself!
While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the
lake, your wife has been languishing in the ICU! It's just as well you
went ahead and finished the fishing because it will be more than likely
your last! For the rest of her life she will require round the clock
care and you'll be her care giver!"
The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.
The doctor snickered and said, "Just screwing with you. She's dead.
What'd you catch?"
