A couple goes on holiday to a fishing resort at Lakes Entrance.

The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and 
decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the Lakes area, 
the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance,
anchors, and continues to read her book.

Along comes a fishing inspector in his boat. He pulls up alongside
the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?

"Reading a book," she replies (thinking "isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start 
at any moment. I'll have to take you in and file a report," he says.

"And if you do that," retorts the woman, "I'll have to charge you 
with sexual assault" 

"But I haven't even touched you!" says the inspector.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could 
start at any moment..."

"Have a nice day, Ma'am," and he left...


THE MORAL OF THE STORY: Never argue with a woman who reads. 
It's likely she can also think.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; 
teach him to use the net and he won't bother you for weeks!
