Never Argue with a Woman Who Reads

One morning the husband returns 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, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He 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. For all I know you
could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and
write you up.”

“For reading a book,” she replies.

“You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,” he informs her
again.

“I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading”

“Yes, but 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, I’ll have to charge you with sexual
assault,” says the woman.

“But I haven’t even touched you,” says the game warden.

“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,” and he left.
