One morning a husband returns after several hours of fishing on the loch and
settles down for a nap. Although she is not terrifically familiar with the
loch, his wife decides to take the boat back out onto the loch, motoring
out for a short distance before settling down to read her book
Along comes the local game keeper in his boat. He pulls up alongside the
woman and says, "Good morning. 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" she says, "but I'm not fishing. I'm
reading." "Yes, but you have all the equipment in the boat. For all I know
you could start at any moment. I'll have to accompany you back to shore and
issue you with a fine."
"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 keeper.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could
start at any moment."
"Have a nice day," he says, motoring off.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads (Sound advice I assure you)
