Standing at the edge of the lake, a man saw a woman flailing
about in the deep water. Unable to swim, the man started to
scream for help.
A local fisherman ran up. The man gasped, "My wife is drowning
and I can't swim. Please save her. I"ll give you a hundred
dollars."
The fisherman dived 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, buddy, 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. So tell me, what do I owe you?" |
