Whoops!


I'd been planning this fishing trip for two months. No phone, no wife, no mouth - just me and Nature for two whole days. Saturday morning I got up around 4.30, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog and slipped quietly into the garage.

I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out - into a torrential downpour!

The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I decided to wait and see but fell asleep and only awoke at 7.00 - and if anything, the weather was worse.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered:

"The weather out there is terrible it's dangerous."

My loving wife of 7 years replied:

"Mmm, you're safe here, darling. Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
