Never Argue with a Woman

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."

"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.

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

Why?

1. Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?

2. Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

6. Why is a boxing ring square?

7. Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?

8. Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?

9. Why is it that rain drops but snow falls?

10. Why do they call it a pair of pants, but only 1 bra?

11. Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

12. Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavour and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

13. Why isn't 'phonetic' spelled the way it sounds?

14. If they squeeze olives to get olive oil, how do they get baby oil?

15. Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

16. Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet?

17. Why isn't there mouse-flavoured cat food?

18. What do people in China call their good plates?

19. Why is it that when you transport something by car it is called shipment, but when you transport something by ship it's called cargo?

20. What hair colour do they put on the driving licence of a bald man?

Take these with a pinch of salt!
