Year after year Bubba’s wife pleaded with him to take her
fishing but he kept telling her she would not enjoy it. She,
finally, wore him down, he consented, and early one
morning they took off to the lake.
They had not been there very long when the fish began biting.
Almost as fast as they cast, a fish would bite, and they reeled
it in. After catching their limit, Bubba said, “Verna Lou, sweet
thang, I’m sorry. You’ve been good luck and I’m gonna bring
you with me the next time. If you’ll mark the spot where we
caught all these fish, we’ll go home.”
On the way home, Bubba turned to Verna Lou and said,
“Sweet thang, how did you mark the spot were all the fish are
so next time I’ll know?”
“Bubba, darlin’, I put a big ‘X’ on the side of the boat right
down closest to the water.”
“Sweet thang, that’s about the dumbest thing I ever seed you
do. Don’t you know that won’t work? We may not get the
same boat the next time!”
