Fisherman’s Ode

Two old men were fishing off a bridge as they had done daily for many years.

Suddenly a funeral procession came down the road.

The one old man reeled in his line,

lain down his pole, faced the street and bowed his head until the procession had passed.

He then picked up his pole and started fishing again.

The other fisherman was amazed and stated

“I didn’t know you were that religious.”

The other looked at him and said

“Least I could do, we’ve been married 42 years!”
