A Redneck Fish Story

[Uncle Chuck]

A redneck was stopped by a game warden in Northern Alabama recently with two ice chests full of fish.
He was leavin' a cove well-known for its fishing.

The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"
"Naw, sir", replied the redneck. "I ain't got no fishin' license. You must understand, these here
are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?"

"Yeah. Every night, I take these here fish down to the lake and let 'em swim 'round for awhile. Then, when I
whistle, they jump right back into these here ice chests and I take 'em home."

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

The redneck looked at the warden for a moment and then said, "It's the truth Mr. Government Man. I'll show
ya. It really works."

"O. K.", said the warden. "I've got to see this!"

The redneck poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.

After several minutes, the warden says, "Well?"

"Well, what?", says the redneck.

The warden says, "When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The FISH", replied the warden!

"What fish?", replied the redneck.

Moral of the story: We may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we ain't as dumb as some government
employees.
You can say what you want about the South, but you never hear of anyone retiring and moving north.

To resurrect another old one . . .

Bubba was well-known in the area to be one of those old boys that liked to dynamite fish. You know. Toss the charge in the water and scoop'em up with a net. He was tuff to catch at it, though.

The local game warden finally talked Bubba into taking him fishing.

In the middle of the lake, Bubba lit up a stick and got ready to wing it.

The game warden interrupted him and said "Hold on, there, Bubba! You know I can't sit here and let you do that. It's against the law and I'll have to arrest you!"

Bubba contemplated for a moment, and as the fuse burned very low, he tossed the lit stick to the game warden and asked,

"You gonna sit there jawin' or you gonna fish?"
