A True Fish Story
There is more truth to this than most suspect
A redneck with a bucket full of live fish was approached recently by a
game warden in Central Mississippi as he
started to drive his boat away from a lake.
The game warden asked the man, "May I see your fishing license please?"
"Naw, sir," replied the redneck. "I don't need none of them there
papers. These here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish??"
"Yep. Once a week, I bring these here fish o'mine down to the lake
and let 'em swim 'round for awhile. Then when I
whistle, they swim right back into my net and I take 'em home."
"What a line of baloney you're under arrest."
The redneck said, "It's the truth, Mr. Gov'ment Man. I'll show ya! We
do this all the time!!"
"WE do, now, do WE?" smirked the warden. "PROVE it!"
The redneck released the fish into the lake and stood and waited.
After a few minutes, the warden said, "Well?"
"Well, WHUT?" said the redneck.
The warden asked, "When are you going to call them back?"
"Call who back?"
"The FISH," replied the warden!
"Whut fish?" asked the redneck
MORAL OF THE STORY:
We may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we ain't as dumb as
some government employees.
