| Two old friends, Paddy and Mick, went on a fishing trip together. Because neither were especially avid fishermen, they rented all their equipment. They rented the reels and rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, and even a cabin in the woods. It was to be a fully immersive fishing experience. On their first day fishing, they didn't catch anything. The same thing happened on the second day, and again, they caught nothing on the third day. Finally on the last day of their vacation, they managed to catch one small fish. Both of the men were rather disappointed with their vacation, and on the drive home Paddy said to Mick, "Do you realize that that one lousy fish we caught cost us over fifteen hundred bucks?" Mick's eyes lit up and replied, "Wow! Then I guess it was a good thing we didn't catch any more!" |
