Typical Topics
When men go fishing, their conversations often revolve around sports or other interests in their lives. However, if they are married, discussions frequently include their wives. This was true for four men who went fishing and talked about what they had to do to spend the day out on the water.
The ‘Honey-Do’ List
Many of them complained about their ‘honey-do’ lists, but one man had a clever idea that made the others envious. Here’s how their conversation unfolded after an hour of fishing:
- First guy: “You have no idea what I had to do to come fishing this weekend. I promised my wife I’d paint every room in the house next weekend.”
- Second guy: “That’s nothing! I promised my wife I’d build her a new deck for the pool.”
- Third guy: “Man, you both have it easy! I promised my wife I’d remodel the kitchen.”
The Fourth Guy’s Clever Solution
The men continued fishing until they realized the fourth guy had not said a word. Curious, they asked him, “You haven’t mentioned what you had to do to come fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?”
- Fourth guy: “I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off the clock, gave my wife a nudge, and said, ‘Fishing or sex?’ She said, ‘Wear a sweater.'”
Conclusion
This clever approach left his friends both amused and envious, highlighting the humorous side of negotiating time away from home for hobbies.
