After an hour, the following conversation took place:

Max: You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I would paint every room in the house next weekend.'

John: That is nothing, I had to promise Ros that I would build her a new deck for the pool.'

Peter: Man , you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I would remodel the kitchen for her.'

They continue to fish. When they realized that the fourth guy has not said a word, they asked him,

“You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend. What's the deal?”

Lou: I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm, gave Mary a slap on her backside and said: 'Fishing or ??x?'

And she said:…………….. 'Wear sun-block.'
