Standing at the edge of a lake, a man saw a woman flailing
about in the deep water. Unable to swim, the man screamed for
help. A trout fisherman ran up. The man said, “My wife is
drowning and I can’t swim. Please save her. I’ll give you a
hundred dollars.”
The fisherman dove 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, 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. How much do I owe you?”
