One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, “Good morning Ma’am. What are you doing?”

“Reading a book,” she replies, thinking, “Isn’t that obvious?”)

“Well, you’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,” he informs her.

“I’m sorry officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading.”

“Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

“For reading a book?” she replies.

“Ma’am, you’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,” he informs her again.

“I’m really sorry officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading.”

“Yes, yes, I know, but the way I look at it, you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start fishing at any moment. So, I’ll have to take you in and write you up Ma’am.”

“Well, if you do that, I’ll charge you with sexual assault!” says the woman.

“But, I haven’t even touched you,” says the Game Warden.

“That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.”
