A Newfie was stopped by a game warden recently with two ice chests of fish. <br />He was leaving a cove well known for its fishing.<br /> <br />The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those <br />fish?"<br /> <br />"Naw, sir, I ain't got none of them there licenses, no. You must <br />understand these here are my pet fish."<br /> <br />"Pet fish?" said the game warden.<br /><br />"Ya. Ever night I take these y'ere fish down to da lake and lets 'em swim <br />'round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump rat back into this here <br />ice chest and I take them home."<br /><br />"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" says the warden.<br /> <br />The newfie looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's <br />the truth Mr. Gov'ment man, I'll show you. It really works."<br /> <br />"Okay," said the game warden, "I've _*GOT*_ to see this!"<br /> <br />The newfie poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.<br /><br />After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"<br /><br />"Well, what?" said the newfie.<br /><br />The warden said, "When are you going to call them back?"<br /> <br />The newfie said, "Call who back?"<br /> <br />"The FISH!" replied the warden.<br /> <br />"What fish?" answered the newfie.-----<br /> <br /><br />We in Newfoundland may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we <br />aren't as dumb as most gov'ment people.
