Fishing with Bubba

A good old boy (Bubba) with a bucket full of live fish was approached recently by a game
warden in Central Alabama as he started to drive his boat away from a lake.

The game warden asked the man, “May I see your fishing license please?”

“Naw, sir,” replied Bubba. “I don’t need none of them there papers.
These here are my pet fish.”

“Pet fish??”

“Yep. Once a week, I bring these here fish o’mine down to the lake and let
’em swim ’round for a while. Then when I whistle, they swim right back into
my net and I take ’em home.”

“What a line of horse sh-t….you’re under arrest.”

Bubba said, “It’s the truth, Mr. Gov’ment Man. I’ll show ya! We do
this all the time!!”

“WE do, now, do WE?” smirked the warden. “PROVE it!”

Bubba released the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After a
few minutes, the warden said, “Well?”

“Well, WHUT?” replied Bubba.

The warden asked, “When are you going to call them back?”

“Call who back?”

“The FISH,” replied the warden!

“Whut fish?” asked Bubba.
