Four married men decided to spend a Saturday fishing together. As they relaxed by the water, they started talking about what they had promised their wives in return for getting a full day away from home. Each man had apparently made a deal to enjoy his fishing trip without any complaints.

The first man admitted that he had promised to paint the entire house that weekend. The second said he had agreed to build a new pool deck, something his wife had been requesting for years. The third claimed he had made the biggest commitment of all: renovating the kitchen, including installing new cabinets and floors. Despite all the work waiting for them, none wanted to miss the trip.

Eventually, they noticed that the fourth man hadn’t said a word. When they asked what he had promised his wife, he smiled and explained that his method was much easier. He had set his alarm for 5:30 that morning. When it rang, he switched it off, gently woke his wife, and whispered, “Fishing or sex?” The other three immediately became curious about her answer.

With a big grin, the fourth man revealed what happened. His wife opened her eyes, looked at him sleepily, and simply replied, “Put on a sweater. It’s cold outside!” His friends immediately burst into laughter. While they had agreed to spend their weekends completing expensive household projects, he had found a much simpler way to get out of the house.
