Jim, the Game Warden, lived next door to Johnny, an avid
fisherman.
Every morning, while Jim was having his first cup of coffee, out his window he
would see Johnny drive into his driveway, boat in tow, returning from an early
morning fishing trip. And every morning Jim would watch Johnny unload four ice
chests FILLED with fish!
Finally, one morning Jim's curiosity got the better of him and he stepped
outside and spoke to his neighbor.
"Hi, Johnny. You know, I think you catch more fish than anyone I've ever known.
Tell me your secret."
"I'll do better than that, Jim", Johnny said, "If you'll be here at 4 A.M.
tomorrow you can go with me and I'll SHOW you."
The next morning Jim was standing beside Johnny's boat at 4 A.M. and they drove
to the nearby lake. Johnny steered the boat to a shallow cove and stopped the
motor. Reaching under the seat of the boat, he retrieved a stick of dynamite.
Lighting the fuse, he tossed the dynamite into the lake.
BOOM!
The shock wave rocked the boat. Almost immediately, dozens of fish floated to
the surface all around the boat. Johnny paddled in a small circle, netting the
fish and dropping them into an ice chest.
Jim's mouth dropped open in utter disbelief!
"Johnny", he said, "I can't believe my eyes. You KNOW I'm a game warden! Now
I'll have to arrest you!"
Johnny reached under the seat and retrieved another stick of dynamite. Lighting
the fuse, he quickly shoved it into Jim's HAND!
"Now," Johnny asked, "are we gonna sit here talking or are you gonna FISH???"
