A Cajun was stopped by a game warden in Southern
Louisiana recently with two ice chests full of fish.
He was leaving a bayou well known for its excellent
fishing.
The game warden asked, "Do you have a license to
catch those fish?"
"Naw, ma fren, I ain't got none of dem, no. Dese
here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish??"
"Ya. Dat's right. Avery nigh' I take dese here fish
down ta de bayou and let dem swim 'roun' fer a while.
Den I whistle and dey jump rat back into dis here ice
chest and I take em on home."
"That's a bunch of hooey. Fish can't do that!"
The Cajun looked all hurt at the warden for a minute
and then he said, "It's de truth, ma' fren. I'll show
you. It really works."
"Okay, I have to see this!"
The Cajun poured the fish into the bayou and stood
and waited while the fish swam around. After several
minutes the game warden turned to him and said,
"Well?"
"Well, what?" asked the Cajun.
"When are you going to call them back?" asked the
warden.
"Call who back?"
"The fish!"
"What fish?"
A little boy came home from kindergarten with a blue ribbon. When his
mommy asked him "What is the blue ribbon for?" he proudly announced, "I won!"
When pressed for details he simply said, "The teacher asked all of us to
guess how many legs a cow has. When my turn came, I guessed FIVE."
"Five???" his mother gasped, "but a cow only has FOUR legs."
"I won because my guess was the closest."
A lawyer and a blonde woman happen to be sitting next to each other on a
long flight from L.A. to New York. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if
she would like to play a fun game. The blonde is tired and just wants to
take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a
few winks. The lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a
lot of fun. He explains how the game works. "I ask you a question, and if
you don't know the answer, you pay me, and vice-versa."
Again, the blonde politely declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer
figures that since his opponent is a blonde he will easily win the match, so
he makes another offer. "Okay, how about this? If you don't know the
answer, you pay me only $5, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you
$500."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end
to this torment unless she plays, she agrees to play the game. The lawyer
asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a
five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer. Now, it's the blonde's turn.
She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down
with four?"
The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop
computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Air-phone with
his modem and searches the net and even the Library of Congress.
Frustrated, he sends emails to all his coworkers and friends he knows - all
to no avail. After over an hour of searching for the answer, he finally
gives up. He wakes the blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep. The
lawyer, who cannot imagine what the answer is, and is going nuts trying to
figure it out, is more than a little frustrated! He wakes the blonde and
asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
four?"
The blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to
sleep.
