A man was
stopped by a game-warden in northern British Columbia recently with two
buckets of fish leaving a lake well known for its fishing. The game warden
asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?" The
man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet
fish." "Pet fish?!" the warden replied. "Yes, sir.
Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them swim
around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I
take em home."
"That's
a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"
The man
looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll
show you. It really works."
"O.K.
I've GOT to see this!." The game warden was curious now. The man
poured the fish in to the river and stood and waited. After several
minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well."
"Well,
What?" the man responded.
"When
are you going to call them back?" The game warden prompted.
"Call
who back?" The man asked.
"The
FISH."
"What
fish?" The man asked
