Found this on my Facebook page posted by a good friend. I attempted to determine who originally wrote this, but was unable to do so.
One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.
Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat.
He pulls up alongside the woman and says, ‘Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?’
‘Reading a book,’ she replies, (thinking, ‘Isn’t that obvious?’).
‘You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,’ he informs her.
‘I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading.’
‘Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start fishing 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,’ says the woman.
‘But I haven’t even touched you,’ says the Game Warden.
‘That’s true, but you have all the equipment..
For all I know you could start at any moment.’
‘Have a nice day ma’am,’ and he left.
MORAL:
Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.
I like it because it’s funny and true. I know women that read and their evil little minds are always thinking. (That’s a joke Tina!)
I also like it because it shows the mentality of many people: Because you have the equipment to do something bad, you are just as guilty as someone who does. After every horrific shooting incident, anyone who owns a firearm is viewed in the same light, as capable of doing the same thing because they “own the equipment”. You can’t be trusted and something has to be done. You are guilty because of your association with an inanimate object. But owning a firearm doesn’t make you a killer any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician or owning a frying pan makes you a chef. Incidentally, the guitar and frying pan can both be used to inflict great bodily harm on another person.
