A Joke for Today. “A Wife Doubts an Old Fisherman.”
An old fisherman is sitting by a lake when a young man approaches him.
The young man asks the old fisherman, “Caught anything today?”
The old fisherman responds, “Just one fish today.”
The young man asks, “Only one fish? I have been fishing here for four hours, and I haven’t caught a thing.”
The old man smiles as he gives the young man some advice, “Patience, son. Fishing is all about patience.”
The young man sits beside him. After an hour, he still hasn’t caught anything, so he asks the old man, “How do you stay so calm? I’m getting bored.”
The old fisherman replies, “I think about life, enjoy the fresh air, and appreciate the little things of life.”
The young fisherman nods his head up and down in agreement, as he says to the old fisherman, “That is heavy. Pretty deep! So, "What is the biggest fish you have ever caught?”
The old fisherman smiles at the youngster as he says to him, “A 40-pound bass!”
The young fisherman replies, “Wow! How did you catch it?”
The old fisherman responds, “With a tiny hook and a little worm.”
The young fisherman looks amazed and asks the older fisherman, “That is incredible! How long did it take?”
The old man thinks about it for a few minutes, “About 10 minutes.”
The young man is shocked. “Only 10 minutes?”
“Yes. But it took me 20 years to convince my wife that it was 40 pounds.”
The young man laughs, as he asks the old man, “Did she ever believe you?”
The old timer starts to pack up his fishing gear as he says, “NO! But she stopped asking me how much money I spent on fishing equipment.”
