A husband got home in the morning after spending hours fishing, and he decided to take a nap.

Though she was not familiar with the lake, his wife decided to take the boat out.

After motoring out a short distance, she dropped her anchor and started reading her book.

The game warden then pulled up alongside her and said, “Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?”

“Reading a book,” she replied, as she thought to herself, "Isn’t that obvious?"

“You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,” he told her.

“I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading," she said.

“Yes, but you have all the equipment," the game warden responded. "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,”said the woman.

“But I haven’t even touched you,” the game warden fired back.

“That’s true, but you have all the equipment," she said. "For all I know you could start at any moment.”

“Have a nice day, ma’am,” the game warden said as he left.

LOL! This just goes to show that it's never a good idea to interrupt a woman who's enjoying a little peace and quiet.

It also shows that with a little bit of thinking, you can always outwit a government bully!
