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.
