The Ones That Got Away

A man was stopped by a game warden in Northern Michigan recently with two buckets of fish leaving a lake well known for its fishing and poaching. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"No, sir," the man replied to the game warden, "these are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?!" he 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 ridiculous! 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 into 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.
