Choices

"Fishing"*

*A fisherman's wife was sitting by a tent in a clearing
on the bank of a river when along came the park ranger and said,

"Excuse me ma'am but I need to speak to your
husband. Can you tell me where he is?"

She replied, pointing to a clump of reeds. "Go over
there and look for the pole with a worm on both ends."

"Choices"*

*Last summer my wife and I met a couple who were
friends of my wife at a restaurant. After lunch, the
women decided to go shopping, and I invited the
man to go sailing.

While we were out on the water, a storm blew up.
The tide had gone out, and we were down wind
trying to work our way back through a narrow
channel. At one point the boat grounded and we
had to climb overboard and shove with all our
might to get it back in deep water.

As my new friend stood there, ankle deep in muck,
the wind blowing his hair wildly, rain streaming down
his face, he grinned at me, and with unmistakable sincerity said,

"Sure beats shopping."
