PET FISH

A man was stopped by a game-warden in Northern Michigan
recently with two buckets of fish leaving a lake well
known for its fishing.

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

The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are
my pet fish."

"Pet fish?!" the warden asked. 

"Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to
the lake & let them swim around for a while.  I whistle
and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home."

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

The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then
said, "Here, I'll show you.  It really works."

"O.K. I've GOT to see this!"

The game warden was curious, now.  The man poured the
fish in to the lake and stood and waited.  After a
several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and
said, "Well?"

"Well, What?" the man responded.  

"When are you going to call them back?" The game warden
prompted.

"Call who back?" The man asked.

"The fish." replied the warden.

"What fish?" The man asked.
