A game warden noticed how a particular fellow named Sam consistently caught
more fish than anyone else. Whereas the other guys would only catch three
or four fish a day, Sam would come in from the lake with a boat full of
fish. Stringer after stringer was packed with freshly caught trout. The
warden, curious, asked Sam his secret. The successful fisherman invited
the game warden to accompany him and observe.
So the next morning, the two met at the dock and took off in Sam's
boat. When they got to the middle of the lake, Sam stopped the boat, and
the warden sat back to see how it was done.
Sam's approach was simple: He took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and
threw it into the air. The explosion rocked the lake with such a force
that dead fish immediately began to surface. Sam took out a net and
started scooping them up.
Well, you can imagine the reaction of the game warden. When he recovered
from the shock of it all, he began yelling at Sam, "You can't do
this! I'll put you in jail, buddy! You will be paying every fine there is
in the book!"
Sam, meanwhile, set his net down and took out another stick of
dynamite. He lit it and tossed it in the lap of the game warden with these
words: "Are you going to sit there all day complaining, or are you going to
fish?"
A man walked into the office of an eminent psychiatrist and sat down to
explain his problem.
"Doctor, doctor! I've got this problem," the man said. "I keep
hallucinating that I'm a dog. It's crazy. I don't know what to do!"
"A common canine complex," said the doctor soothingly. "Relax. Come here
and lie down on the couch."
"Oh no, Doctor," the man said nervously, "I'm not allowed up on the
furniture."
Little Josh was brought to Dr. Gill cause he hadn't eaten anything for
days. Dr. Gill offered him all the goodies he could think of. No
luck. He tried a little scolding. It didn't work. A little pleading, to
no avail.
Finally he sat down, faced the boy, looked him in the eye. He said, "Look
young man, if you can be stubborn, so can I. You're not going anywhere until you eat something. You can have whatever you want, but only after you
have eaten will you leave."
Josh just sat and glared for some time, then said "OK. I'll eat but I have
some conditions. First, I'll have exactly what I want and exactly how I
want it and second you'll share with me."
Dr. Gill was OK with this. He asked the child what he'd like. "Worms!"
said Josh.
Dr. Gill was horrified but didn't want to back out and seem like a
loser. So, he ordered a plate of worms to be brought in. "Not that many,
just one," yelled Josh as he saw the plate.
So, everything other than one worm was removed. Josh then demanded that
the single worm be cut into two pieces and then Dr. Gill eat half. Dr.
Gill went through the worst ordeal of his life, and after finishing, barely
managing to keep his cool, said, "OK, now eat!"
Josh refused as he sobbed, "No way! You ate my half!"
