A couple went on vacation to a fishing resort up north. 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 herself. 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 replied... as she thought 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?", she said.

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you
up." replied the sheriff.

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with rape," replied the irritated woman.

"But I haven't even touched you." groused the sheriff.

"Yes, that's true", she replied, "but you do have all the equipment."

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who knows how to read. It's likely she can
also think . . .
