A man was fishing illegally off the end of the dock. At his feet, he had a bucket full of fish. A game warden approached the man.
"May I see your fishing license, sir?" the officer asked.
"My fishing license?" the man quizzically asked.
"Yes, sir," the officer continued. "I need to make sure you're not fishing illegally."
"I'm not fishing," the man explained. "I'm training my pet fish."
"Training them?" asked the game officer.
"Yeah," the man explained. "I set them in the water, and when I whistle, they swim back to me and leap through the air, and land in the bucket."
The game warden was astounded. He'd never heard anything like this.
"They can really do that?" he asked, now intrigued.
"Yep," the man said arrogantly.
"Can I SEE it?" begged the officer.
"Sure," said the man as he poured his bucket of fish off the end of the dock.
"Okay," started the officer. "Whistle and make the fish come back."
The man smiled.
"What fish?"
"May I see your fishing license, sir?" the officer asked.
"My fishing license?" the man quizzically asked.
"Yes, sir," the officer continued. "I need to make sure you're not fishing illegally."
"I'm not fishing," the man explained. "I'm training my pet fish."
