Dietrich Fischer – TRANSCEND Media Service
A husband and wife spent their vacation at a lake where he enjoyed fishing. One day, while he was taking a nap on shore, the wife took their fishing boat to explore the lake. Suddenly a police boat approached her and the policeman said,
“You are in a zone where fishing is prohibited and I have to fine you.”
“That is ridiculous,” the woman protested, “you can see that I have not been fishing, and I am not going to!”
The policeman insisted, “But you have all the equipment.”
The woman said, “Then I will accuse you of rape.”
The policeman was astounded and furious: “How could you, I have not done anything to you!”
The woman retorted, “But you have all the equipment!”
