One bright Saturday morning, four married friends packed their fishing gear and headed out to the lake. The air was fresh, the water calm, and for a few precious hours, life felt simple. But soon, as the sun rose higher, so did the conversation about what it really took for them to earn this weekend of peace.
The Confessions Begin
The first guy sighed, shaking his head.
“You guys have no idea what I went through just to be here. I had to promise my wife I’ll paint every single room in our house next weekend.”
The others laughed, but the second guy quickly jumped in:
“Painting? That’s nothing! I had to promise my wife I’d build her a brand-new deck for the pool.”
The third friend chuckled and leaned on his fishing rod.
“You two got off easy. I had to promise my wife I’d remodel the entire kitchen. Do you even know how long that’s going to take?”
The lake echoed with laughter as the three of them compared their “bribes” for freedom.
The Silent Fisherman
But then… they all noticed something. The fourth guy hadn’t said a word the entire time. He just sat there, quietly casting his line, not a single worry on his face.
Curious, the three turned toward him.
“Hey man, what about you? What did you have to promise to get out here today?”
The fourth guy slowly leaned back, grinned, and finally spoke:
“Oh, that was easy. I just set my alarm for 5:30 this morning. When it went off, I nudged my wife and said, ‘Fishing or sex?’ She rolled over and said… ‘Wear sunblock.’”
The Burst of Laughter
The moment he finished, the other three burst out laughing so hard they nearly dropped their fishing rods into the water. The calm, peaceful lake became filled with the sound of four grown men laughing like kids again.
That day, they didn’t just catch fish—they caught a memory that they’d retell for years to come.
