Joke of the Month
Fish Tale
There were three men in a boat halfway across the lake. The
first man suddenly said, "I forgot my lunch," got out of the
boat, and walked to shore on top of the water.
Later, the second man said, "I forgot my fishing tackle,"
and also walked across the water to shore.
By this time, the third man thought to himself, "They're not
going to outsmart me. I forgot my bait can," and he started
to walk across the water, but he sank.
The first man said to the second, "Maybe we should have told
him where the rocks were."
