Pet Fish

[Benita]

A redneck was stopped by a game warden in Arkansas 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 none of them there licenses. 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.

I had two pet gold fish once.
I kept them in a round bowl.
I would sit for hours watching them swim around and around.

You know I never could figure out which one was in front.

I think maybe the one in front was called Bob.
The one behind bob, its little mouth would be moving as if calling his name
.....Bob!....Bob!.....Bob!!
