Reading Comprehension - A Joke

Two avid fishermen go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipments: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spent a fortune.

The first day they to fishing, 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 depressed. One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred dollars?"

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