Don't Underestimate Women Who Read

We know tons of avid readers among us.  This little story illustrates that we're quick thinkers as well.

Subject: In Praise of Women Who Read

One morning a husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.  Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.  She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat.  He pulls up alongside and says, " Good morning, Ma'am, what are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, thinking, Isn't that obvious?

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment.  For all I know you could start at any moment.  I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"For reading a book," she replies.

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.  I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman."

"But I haven't even touched you," says the Game Warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment.  For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left. 

MORAL:  Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.
