Bert's Joke of the Month
 
Three blondes are sitting by the side of a river 
holding fishing poles with the lines in the water.
 
A Game Warden comes up behind 
them,
taps them on the shoulder and 
says, "Excuse me, ladies, I'd like to see your 
fishing licenses."
"We don't have any," replied the first blonde.  
"Well, if you're going to fish, you need fishing  licenses,"
said the Game Warden.  
"But  officer," replied the second blonde, "we aren't  fishing.
We all have magnets at the end of our lines  and we're collecting debris off the bottom  of the  river."
The Game Warden lifted up all the lines 
and,
sure enough, there were horseshoe magnets 
tied on the end of each line.  
"Well, I know of no law against it," said the Game 
Warden.
"Take all the debris you want. And with that, he  left
As soon as the Game Warden was out of 
sight,
the three blondes started laughing  hysterically.
  "What a dumb Fish 
Cop," the second blonde said to the other  two.
  "Doesn't he know that there are steelhead 
trout in this river?"
