A man was fishing. It was a postcard flat day. He began his outing with a 20 lbs. Spanish Mackerel on the first cast and a beautiful Pompano on the second.
On the third cast he scored the largest Red Snapper he had ever caught when his cell phone rang, and as he went to pick it up, his reel clicker went off so he ignored it.
As he landed his first ever Dolphin the phone rang again. 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 the 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 casts before heading to the hospital.
He ended up catching several personal bests, hit the bag limit 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! you callous bastard"!
"I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the ocean, 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 f*cking fishing trip! 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 kidding. She's dead. What'd you catch?"
