THE LAST FISHING TRIP

 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 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 messin' with you.  She's dead.  What'd you catch?'

I think this may be a good example of when you hear it said it's funny, but when you read it it looses something.  

I know some of my jokes have had similar an effect on others
