Drowning
Standing at the edge of the lake, a man saw his wife flailing about
in the deep water. Unable to swim, the man started to scream for
help. A 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, at first, I thought it was my wife. But it's
actually my mother-in-law."
The fisherman reached into his pocket and said, "Just my luck.
How much do I owe you?
