Fresh Fish

A man took his mother on a fishing excursion yesterday. Nobody was
having any luck. After drifting for hours without so much as a nibble,
who should hook into one but the mother.

Everyone on the boat was excited, cheering the old woman on and telling
her to take her time.

Finally she lifted the fish into the boat, picked it up, removed the
hook, looked at it up and down, and then tossed it back into the water.

The son was stunned. He said, "Mom, why did you throw that fish back
into the water?"

"It just didn't look fresh."
