A man was stopped by a Game Warden in Northern Arizona recently leaving a lake well known for its fishing, with two buckets of fish.
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 I let them swim around for a while. Then I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and then I take 'em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" said the Game Warden.
The man looked at the Game Warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."
The game warden was now curious. "O.K. I've GOT to see this!"
The man poured the fish into the lake, 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!" shouted the Warden.
"What fish?" The man clamly asked.
"You told me......." the Warden restated the previous intent.
"WHO would believe a story like that?" said the man, and he just walked away.
