Real Maine humor:

A Maine boy was stopped by a game warden recently with an ice chest
full of
live fish in water, leaving a river well known for its fishing.

The game warden asked the boy, "Do you have a license to catch those
fish?

"Naw, my friend, I ain't got a license. These here are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?" "Yep. Every night I take these fish down to the river

and let 'em swim round for a while.

Then I whistle and they jump right back into this ice chest and I take
'em
home."

"That's a bunch of crap! Fish can't do that!"

The Mainer looked at the game warden for a moment and then said,

"It's the truth. I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"

The Mainer poured the fish into the river and stood and waited.

After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" said the Mainer.

"When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The FISH!"

"What fish?"



We in Maine may not be as smart as some, but we ain't as dumb as most.
