Four married men decided to spend a weekend fishing together, but the real story wasn’t about the fish they caught—it was about how they convinced their wives to let them go. As they sat in the boat, the conversation turned to the lengths they had to go to for this little getaway.
The first guy sighed and said, “I had to promise my wife I’d paint every room in the house next weekend just to be here.”
The second guy laughed and said, “That’s nothing. I had to promise to build her a new deck for the pool.”
The third guy shook his head and added, “You guys have it easy. I had to promise to remodel the entire kitchen for her.”
As they continued fishing, they noticed the fourth guy had been quiet the whole time. Curious, they asked him, “What about you? What did you have to do to come fishing this weekend?”
The fourth guy smirked and said, “I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I turned it off, nudged my wife, and asked, ‘Fishing or sex?’ She said, ‘Wear sunblock.’”
The group erupted in laughter, realizing that sometimes the simplest approach is the most effective.
