Subject: fishing> A man was fishing. He began by picking up a 12lb walleye
on the first trolling pass and a 25 lb northern on the second.> On the third
run 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 messin' with you. She's dead. What'd you catch?"
