Pete's Joke
One morning, a husband returns to the cabin 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, since it is such a beautiful day. She motors out a short distance, anchors and reads her book. Along comes a fisheries patrol. The officer pulls up alongside the woman and says, “Good morning ma’am, what are you doing?
Reading a book,” she replies, thinking, ‘Isn’t that obvious?’
You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informs her.
I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing, I’m reading.”
Yes, but you have all the equipment. I’ll have to write you up a ticket.
For reading a book?” she replies.
You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he tells her again.
But officer, I’m not fishing, I’m reading.”
Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start fishing at any moment. I’ll have to write you up a ticket and you’ll have to pay a fine.”
If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,” says the woman.”
But I haven’t even touched you,” says the officer.
That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.”
Have a nice day ma’am,” he said and immediately departed.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.
