A man was illegally fishing when he was caught with two buckets of fish by a local council worker.
The council worker asked him, “Do you have a license to catch those fish?”
The man shook his head, “No, sir. These are my pet fish.”
“Pet fish?!” the worker replied.
“Yes, sir. Every night I take these fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home,” said the man.
“That’s a bunch of hooey! Fish can’t do that!” exclaimed the council worker.
The man shrugged and said, “Here, I’ll show you. It really works.”
“Ok, I’ve got to see this!” the council worker replied.
The man poured the fish into the water and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the council worker asks, “When are you going to call them back?”
“Call who back?” the man asked.
“The FISH,” exclaimed the council worker.
“What fish?” the man asked.
