FISHERMAN
Standing at the edge of the lake, a man saw a woman flailing about
in the deep
water. Unable to swim, the man screamed for help. A trout fisherman
ran up. The
man said, "My wife is drowning and I can't swim. Please save
her. I'll give you
a hundred dollars."
The fisherman dove into the water. In ten powerful strokes, he
reached the
woman, put his arm around her, and swam back to shore. Depositing
her at the
feet of the man, the fisherman said, "Okay, where's my
hundred?"
The man said, "Look, when I saw her going down for the third
time, I thought it
was my wife. But this is my mother-in-law."
The fisherman reached into his pocket and said, "Just my luck.
How much do I owe
you?"
