"Out Fishing"

A couple of boys were fishing at their special pond off 
the beaten track. All of a sudden, the Game Warden jumped 
out of the bushes.

Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started 
running through the woods like a bat out of hell. The Game 
Warden was hot on his heels.

After about a half mile, the young man stopped and stooped 
over to catch his breath, so the Game Warden finally caught 
up to him.

"Aw, right... Let's see yer fishin' license, boy!" the 
Warden gasped.

The boy pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a 
valid fishing license.

"Well, son," said the Game Warden, "you must be about as dumb 
 as a box of rocks! You don't have to run from me if you have 
 a valid license!"

"Yes, sir," replied the young guy, "but my buddy who was back 
there, well, he don't have one."
