NOT A PART OF THE PLATFORM

A friend of mine sent me this little story.

I thought I would pass it on to you.

I was right.

I would.

A game warden in central Florida recently stopped a Florida cracker, who was leaving a lake well known for its good fishing, with two ice chests of fish, .

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

"Naw, my friend, I ain't got no license. These here are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?"

"Yep. Every night I take these fish down to the river and let 'em swim 'round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this ice chest and I take 'em home."

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

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

"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"

The cracker poured the fish into the river and stood and waited.

After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said,"Well?"

"Well, what?" said the cracker.

"When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The FISH!"

"What fish?"

We in Florida may not be as smart as some, but we ain't as dumb as most. You smart ones have a good day!
