crew member says to the
skipper, “Do boats like this
sink very often?” “Not too
often,” replied the skipper.
“Usually it’s only the once.”

One day, two guys Frank and Bob were

out fishing. A funeral service passes over
the bridge they’re fishing by, and Bob
takes off his hat and puts it over his
heart. He does this until the funeral serv-
ice passes by. Frank said, “Gee Bob, I
didn’t know you had it in you!” Bob
replied, “It’s the least I could do. After all,
I was married to her for 30 years.”

Three fishermen were fishing when they

came upon a mermaid. The mermaid
offered them one wish each. The first
fisherman said, “Double my I.Q” so the
mermaid did it and to his surprise, he
started reciting Shakespeare. Then the
second fisherman said, “Triple my I.Q.”
and sure enough the mermaid did it and
amazingly he started doing math prob-
lems he didn’t know existed. The third
fisherman was so impressed he asked
the mermaid to quadruple his I.Q and the
mermaid said “Are you sure about this? It
will change your whole life!” The fisher-
man said “yes” so the mermaid turned
him into a woman.
