A game warden catches an unlicensed fisherman in the act.
“You’re going to pay a big fine for all those fish in your bucket,” the game warden says.
“But, officer, I didn’t catch these. They’re my pet fish, and I just bring them here to swim. When they’re done, they jump back into the bucket.”
“Oh really? This I’ve got to see. If you can prove it, I’ll let you go.”
The fisherman empties the bucket into the lake and waits patiently. A few minutes go by and nothing happens. The game warden asks, “So where are the fish?”
The fisherman replies, “What fish?”
