A little humor to help us through this weekend of high water:

A State Game Trooper in Oregon stopped a man. He was walking away from a lake well known for its great fishing. The Trooper asked the man, " Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

The man replied to the Trooper, "No sir, these are my pet fish."

The Trooper eyed him suspiciously and replied "Pet fish?!"

"Yes sir" said the man. "Every night I take these fish down to the lake and let them swim around for awhile for a little exercise. When I whistle, they jump back into their buckets, and I take them home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" snarled the Trooper.

The man looked at him for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."

"OK, I've got to see this!" The Trooper was curious now.

The man poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the Game Trooper turned to the man and said, "Well?"

The man replied "Well, what?"

"When are you going to try to call them back?" the Trooper prompted.

"Call whom back?" the man asked.

"The FISH!" the Trooper yelled.

To which the man replied, "WHAT FISH????"
