I Know What You're Thinking....

The weather was very hot and Fred wanted desperately 
to take a dive in a nearby lake.  He didn't bring his
swim suit, but who cared? He was all alone.  So he
undressed and got into the water. 

After some delightful minutes of cool swimming, a pair
of old ladies walked onto the shore in his direction.
He panicked, got out of the water and grabbed a bucket
lying in the sand nearby.  He strategically posistioned
the bucket and sighed with relief. 

The ladies got nearby and looked at him. He felt awkward
and wanted to move.  Then one of the ladies said: 'You
know, I have a special gift, I can read minds...' 

'Impossible', said the embarrassed man, 'You really know
what I think?' 

'Yes', the lady said with a grin, 'In fact, right now,
I bet you think that the bucket you're holding has a
bottom.'
