A Bit of Rainy-Day Humor

An 80-year-old man went to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in and asked, "How do you stay in such great physical condition?"

"I'm a fisherman," said the old guy. "I'm up well before daylight and out fishing up and down the river."

"Well," said the doctor, "I'm sure that helps, but there has to be more to it. How old was your dad when he died?"

"Who said my dad was dead?" asked the 80-year-old.

The doctor now was amazed. "You mean you're 80 years old, and your dad's still alive? How old is he?"

"He's 100," came the old fisherman's reply. "In fact, he's a fisherman, too, and went with me this morning."

"Well," said the doctor, "that's great, but surely there's more to it than that. How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?"

"Who said my grandpa's dead?"

"Stunned, the doctor asked, "You mean you're 80 years old, and your grandfather still is living? That's incredible. How old is he?"

"He's 118," said the old fisherman.

The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "So, I suppose he went fishing with you this morning, as well?"

"No, Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today."

At this point, the doctor was close to losing it. "Getting married, you say? Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?"

"Who said he wanted to?"
