WEST VIRGINIA

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