There was a preacher who loved to stream fish.
One year there was a problem. Every time he had a chance to go fishing
the weather was bad, or it was on Sunday when he had to work.
All year he was unable to go. Finally it was the last week before the
streams closed.
The weather was bad all week until Sunday, when the weather was perfect.
The preacher could not resist; he called a fellow preacher claiming to
be very sick and asked if he could take over his sermon.
The fly-fishing preacher drove over 200 miles, not wishing to see anyone
he knew. An angel seeing the preacher playing hooky went to God and
said, "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?" God
agreed he should do something. The first cast the preacher made was
perfect. The fly floated past a log and a huge mouth gulped the fly
down. For
45 minutes the preacher ran up and down the stream fighting the mighty
fish. At the end he held a 50" world record rainbow trout.
Confused, the angel asked God, "What are you doing?"
God replied, "Think about it, who's he going to tell?"
