Hillbilly fishing?

[Joe G]

A hillbilly was stopped by a game warden recently as he carried a great big bucket of fish. He was leaving a cove well known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"Naw, sir, I ain't got none of them there licenses, no. You must understand these here are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?" said the game warden.

"Yep. Every night I take these here fish down to da lake and let them swim 'round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump rat back into this here bucket and I take them home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" says the warden

The hillbilly looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's the truth Mr.Government man, I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay," said the game warden, " I've GOT to see this!"

The hillbilly poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" said the hillbilly.

The warden said, "When are you going to call them back?"

The hillbilly said, "Call who back?"

"The FISH!" replied the warden.

"What fish?" answered the hillbilly.


(We may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we aren't as dumb as most government employees...

Did you read the one about the hillbilly calling the government and telling them there was illegal drugs hidden in his neighbor's woodpile! So the gov't men came and looked through the wood and even split it all up! After they left, the first hillbilly called his hillbilly neighbor and asked were the gov't men there and did they split your wood? Yeh, they sure did and thanks for the help! Now...ya see...not exact words.... but hillbillies aren't as dumb as they act or appear!


God Bless!

I was talking to the owner of a MD shop near work. He said he had a friend that went with a bunch of other guys upstate to hunt some farms. They had one place in mind. He went to the farmer and asked if they could get permission to hunt the old farm ground. The owner said he didn't mind but everything was real overgrown. He said, if they wanted to clear it, they could borrow his equipment and dig to their hearts content. After hours of clearing the land, they set out on the hunt. Hours later... no finds.

The guy went to the owner and told him how they just couldn't understand why they couldn't find anything. The owner said, that's what everybody says. The guy said, "Huh???". "Yeah", the owner says, "every year somebody comes up here lookin' to hunt this property and every year I get it all cleared for free" The words that followed cannot be written on this forum...
