: 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
: about his wife's condition.
:
:
:
: The doctor glared at him and somberly said,
: '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 suffering intensely 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
: f' with you. She's dead.
:
: What'd you catch?'
