A couple went on vacation to a fishing resort. The husband
liked to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife liked to read.
One morning the husband returned after several hours of fishing and
decided to take a short nap. Although she wasn’t familiar with the
lake, the wife decided to take the boat out.
She rowed out a short distance, anchored, and returned to reading her
book. Along came the sheriff in his boat. He pulled up alongside her
and said, “Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?”
“Reading my book” she replies as she thinks to herself, “Isn’t it
obvious?”
“You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informed her.
“But officer, I’m not fishing. Can’t you see that?”
“Yes, but you have all the equipment. I’ll have to take you in and write
you up.”
“If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with rape,” snapped the irate
woman.
“But, I haven’t even touched you,” groused the sheriff.
“Yes, that’s true,” she replied, “but you do have all the equipment.”
