A couple of boys were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track. All
of a sudden, the Game Warden jumped out of the bushes. Immediately, one of the
boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods like a bat out of
hell. The Game Warden was hot on his heels.
After about a half mile, the boy stopped and stooped over with his hands on his
thighs to catch his breath, so the Game Warden finally caught up to him. "Let's
see yer fishin' license, little man!" the Warden gasped.
With that, the boy pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a valid
fishing license.
"Well, son," said the Game Warden, "you must be about as dumb as a box of rocks!
You don't have to run from me if you have a valid license!"
"Yes, sir," replied the boy, "but my friend back there, well, he don't have
one."
