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 mobile 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 realised he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best day ever on the water, and decided to get in a couple of more casts before heading to the hospital.
As things would have it, he ended up fishing the rest of the morning, finishing his trip with a stringer like he'd never seen, with 3 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 Intensive Care Unit!
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 looks like you'll be her carer!"
The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and started sobbing.
"Only kidding," chuckled the doctor, "she died an hour ago...what did you catch?"
