Fisherman's Excuse for Skipping Church

One Sunday morning, two men are out in a boat, fishing. After several hours on the lake without catching a single fish, one of the men says to his friend, "You know, we probably should have stayed home and gone to church this morning."

The other man says, "Well, I could have stayed home, but I couldn't have gone to church."

"Why's that?" asks his friend.

"My wife is sick," the fisherman answers.
