Congressional Issues 2010
REGULATION
Fish and Game



Congress should:
  • Abolish federal fish and game regulations

One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.  Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.

She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.

Suddenly, here comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat.  He pulls up alongside the woman.  "Good morning, Ma'am," he says. "What are you doing?" 

"Reading," she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')

"But you're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her. 

"Oh, I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading." 

"Yes, but I see you have all the equipment.  For all I know you could start at any moment.  I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, sir, I will have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"That's ridiculous.  I haven't even touched you," says the Game Warden.

"Well, that's true, but you do have all the equipment, and for all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," he said and left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads.  It's likely she can also think.
