A man was stopped by a game-warden as he was leaving a lake well known for its fishing with two buckets of fish.
The game warden asked the man: “Do you have a license to catch those fish?”
The man replies to the game warden: “No, sir. These are my pet fish.”
“Pet fish?!” the warden replies.
“Yes, sir. Every night I take these here 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 them home.”
“That’s a lie! Fish can’t do that!” replies the warden in disbelief.
The man looks at the game warden for a moment and then says: “Here, I’ll show you. It really works.”
“Okay I’ve have to see this!”
The man pours the fish into the river and waits.
After several minutes, the game warden turns to the man and says: “Well?”
“Well, what?” the man responds.
“When are you going to call them back?” the game warden prompts.
“Call who back?” the man asks.
“The fish,” the warden says sternly.
“What fish?” the man asks.
Mike had a terrible day fishing on the lake, sitting in the burning sun all day without catching a single one. On his way home, he stopped at the supermarket and ordered four catfish. He told the salesman: “Pick four large ones out and throw them at me, will you?”
The salesman said: “Why do you want me to throw them at you?”
“Because I want to tell my wife that I caught them.”
“Okay, but I suggest that you take the Red Snapper,” the salesman said.
“But why?” he asked.
“Because your wife came in earlier today and said that if you came by, I should tell you to take Red Snapper. She would like to have it for dinner tonight.”
A young boy applied for a job at a store. The store manager said: “We are looking for somebody with sales experience but we’re having a holiday sale tomorrow and you can give it a try.”
At the end of the day the manager checked the day sales and was shocked, the boy had sold $79,083.25 worth of merchandise.
He asked the boy how he did it and he replied: “Well this guy was going fishing so I asked if he wanted some fish hooks. He said sure. That’s $1. I asked if he had a nice fishing pole. He said no and got a graphite pole for $44. I asked if he had a nice reel. He said no and I got him a reel for $35. I asked where he will be fishing and he said White Lake.
“I said the best places to fish are near the centre, and when he said he didn’t have a boat, I set him up with a 10 metre cruiser for $28,000. I asked if he had a trailer. He didn’t, so I got him a double axle trailer for $3,000. Then I asked what he had to tow the boat. He only had a station wagon, so I told him that just wouldn’t do, but we could get him a nice fully loaded Dodge Ram for $48,000. He wanted it all”.
The store manager was astounded: “And to think it all began with that man asking for fish hooks.”
The boy said: “Oh no, it all began with him asking for some $3.25 tampons for his girlfriend, and I said: ‘Well you won’t be doing much this weekend so you might as well go fishing!'”
