CHUCKLES ; A FISHERMAN’S TALE

Ken and Bob are fishing in a boat under the Rio Grande bridge.

Bob looks up and sees a funeral procession starting across the bridge.

He stands up, takes off his cap, and bows his head.

The procession crosses the bridge, and Bob puts on his cap, picks up his rod and reel, and continues fishing.

Ken says, “That was touching. I didn’t know you had it in you.”

Bob responds, “Well, I guess it was the thing to do – after all, I was married to her for 50 years.”
