Ever Wonder What It Takes for a Husband to Get Away for a Fishing Trip? These Four Had Quite the Stories to Tell!
Four husbands, one fishing trip, and a whole lot of promises. Sounds like a recipe for some serious laughs, right? Well, you’re in for a treat. These guys thought they had it all figured out—until they started sharing their “sacrifices.”
It all started with the first guy, who kicked off the conversation with a groan. “You guys have no idea what I had to promise to be here today,” he said. “I told my wife I’d paint the whole house. Yep, every room. And I still showed up!” The others nodded, feeling his pain. After all, we all know how hard it is to juggle marriage and hobbies!

Then, the second guy jumped in, ready to one-up his friend. “Painting? Pfft. I promised my wife I’d build a brand-new deck by the pool. She’s been dreaming of it for years. I figured if I took her fishing, she’d let me off the hook. So here I am!” The group laughed, but the next man had a surprise in store.
The third husband wasn’t about to let anyone steal his thunder. “That’s child’s play,” he said. “I promised to remodel the entire kitchen. Yeah, a whole remodel. But I couldn’t miss this trip. Not for anything!” The other men stared, wide-eyed. Remodeling? That was serious commitment.

But when they turned to the fourth man, who had been silent until then, they couldn’t help but ask, “So, what did you promise to get away?”
He gave them a sly grin and leaned back in his chair. “Well,” he said, “I didn’t promise anything. I just set my alarm for 5:30, turned it off, nudged my wife, and asked, ‘Fishing or something else?’” He paused, letting the suspense build, and then added, “She told me, ‘Put on a sweater.’”
The group burst into laughter. Sometimes, the easiest way is the best way.
