PET FISH:
A man was stopped by a game-warden in
Northern Michigan recently with two buckets of fish leaving a lake well known
for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to
catch those fish?" The man replied to the game warden,
"No, sir. These are my pet fish." "Pet fish?!" the
warden asked. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the
lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into
their buckets, and I take em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish
can't do that!" The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then
said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."
"O.K. I've GOT to see this!." The game warden was curious, now.
The man poured the fish in to the
lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the
man and said, "Well ?" "Well, What?" the man
responded.
"When are you going to call them
back?" The game warden prompted.
"Call who back?" The man
asked.
"The fish." Replied the
warden.
"What fish?" The man asked.
