An old man was found fishing near a pond by an officer. His bucket was full of fish. --- Officer: "Do you have a fishing permit, Sir?" ... Old man: "Nope. These are my fish. I brought them from home." ... Officer: "What do you mean, you brought them from home.?" ... Old man: "Every day I come here, let the fish swim in the pond for a bit, then call them back." ... Officer: "You call the fish back.?" ... Old man: "Yep. I whistle for them and they jump right back into the bucket." ... Officer: "OK then. Show me.!" So the old man calmly empties the bucket into the pond and watches as the fish swim away. He then calmly sits and waits. After a while the officer says: "Well?" ... Old man: "Well what.?" ... Officer: "Aren't you going to call the fish back.?" ... Old man: "What fish.?"
