Re: Winter Trout Stocking (a joke)
Billy Bob had a full boat of fish out on the lake when the Game Warden stopped him.
“Why Billy Bob! Don’t you know the limit here is 5 fish?” the GW asked him. “I’m going to have to haul you in.”
“No, No Mr. Game Warden”, protested Billy Bob. “I didn’t CATCH these fish. These are my pet fish.”
“Come again?!” said the GW, puzzled.
“Yup,” announced Billy Bob proudly. “These are my pet trained fish. I bring ‘em here every couple of days or so. I pitch them into the water, let them swim around a while for exercise, then I whistle and they come and jump right back into the boat to go home again!”
The GW sat with his mouth open. He finally said, “This I gotta see. Show me.”
“OK,” said Billy Bob. He dumped the fish overboard and sat quietly in the boat.
5 minutes passed, then 10. Finally the GW said, “Well?”
“Well what?” asked Billy Bob.
“Whistle them back,” said the GW. “I want to see it.”
“See what?” asked Billy Bob.
“See the fish jump back into the boat!” snapped the GW.
“What fish?” asked Billy Bob innocently.
