One Step Ahead

Consider the fellow who goes out to the lake early one morning, but as the hours drag on he hasn't even had a nibble. Finally, he packs up and heads home. On his way, though, he stops at the local fish market and orders four trout.

"Pick four large ones out and throw them at me, will you?" he tells the clerk.

"Why do you want me to throw them at you?"

"Because I want to tell my wife that I caught them," he says.

"OK, but I suggest you take the rainbows," the clerk tells him.

"But why?"

"Because your wife came in earlier today and said that if you came by, I should tell you to take rainbows. She prefers that for supper tonight."
