A redneck was stopped by a game warden in Central Mississippi recently
With two ice chests full of water with 10 nice fish swimming around it them..
He was leavin' a cove well-known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to catch those fish?'
'Naw sir', replied the redneck. 'I ain't got no fishin' license. But
You gotta understand something: these fish here are my pet fish.'
'Pet fish?'
'Yeah. Every night, I take these fish down to the lake and let 'em
Swim 'round in the lake for awhile. Then, when I whistle, they jump right
Back into the ice chests here and I take 'em home.'
'That's a bunch of baloney! Fish can't do that.'
The redneck looked at the game warden intently for a moment and then
Said, 'I swear it's the truth, Mr. Government Man. I'll show ya. It really works.'
'O.K.,' said the warden. 'I've got to see this!'
The redneck poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the warden said, 'Well?'
'Well, what?' asked the redneck.
The warden asked, 'When are you going to call them back?'
'Call who back?'
'The FISH!' yelled the warden!
'What fish?' asked the redneck.
Moral of the story: We may not all be as smart as some city slickers,
But we ain't all as dumb as some government employees.
You can say what you want to about the South, but you ain't never heard
Of anyone retiring and moving up North.
