Fishing Costs

（单词翻译:单击）

Two Virginia rednecks go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment - the reels, the rods, the wading¹ suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. I mean they spend a fortune!

The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything.
The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day.
It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.

As they're driving home they're really depressed².
One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realise that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred bucks³?"

The other guy says, "Wow! Then it's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"
