AI Thread Summary
A humorous exchange unfolds between a man and a game warden regarding a basket of fish. The warden questions the man about his fishing permit, to which the man claims the fish are his pets that he walks to the lake each night. Skeptical, the warden demands proof, leading the man to release the fish into the lake. When the warden asks where the fish are moments later, the man feigns ignorance, delivering a punchline that highlights the absurdity of the situation. The joke emphasizes cleverness and the unexpected twist, making it a memorable comedic moment.

A man get stopped by a game warden with his basket full of fish.

Warden: do you have a permit for all these fish?
Man: no sir. These are all my pet fish.
Warden: your pet fish? How's that?
Man: well, every night I take all my pet fish for a walk to the lake, I let them swim for about half hour and then I whistle and they all come back and jump in my basket and we go home. We do this every night.
Warden: Well that's just a crock of lies!
Man: here I'll show you... (Releases the fish in the lake)
Warden: well this I got to see!
5 minutes later...
Warden: well??
Man: what?
Warden: the fish! Where's your pet fish??
Man: what fish??Dave

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.
