Old man in a canoe in the middle of a lake .
Along comes a fisheries officer in his power boat
He pulls along side the canoe and sees a fish in a pail between the old man's legs .
A conversation ensues .
Sir , do you have a fishing license ?
No officer , I do not.
Explain why you have a fish in that pail !
Well Sir , that is my pet fish .
Really ?
Yes Sir . Every day around this time I bring him out to the middle of the lake and slip him in to the water so he can have a good 10 minute swim . I have taught him to return to the boat when he hears a special sound .
You can't expect me to buy that bull !
Well , that is my story .
You will have to prove it or you are going to be cited for fishing without a license.
Okay Sir. ( the old man slips the fish in to the water. The Fisheries officer starts timing the swim . Ten minutes expire )
Okay old timer , make that " special sound " that calls your fish back
What fish ?
