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.
