A husband and wife are spending a few days in a cabin on a lake. After several hours of fishing one morning on the boat, the husband returns and takes a nap. The wife decides to take out the boat since it is such a beautiful day. Although she isn't very familiar with the lake, she motors out, anchors, and sits on the bow to read a book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat, who pulls up alongside the woman.
"Good morning, ma'am," says the Warden, tipping his cap. "What are you doing?"
"Good morning," says the woman. "I am reading."
"You are in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"But Officer, I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I will have to issue you a ticket."
"A ticket? For reading a book???"
"Yes. Again, you're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he repeats.
"Again, I am not fishing. I am reading," she says as she holds up the book.
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment. I must issue you a ticket and you'll have to pay the fine."
"Well, if you do that," says the woman, "then I will have to press charges against you for sexual assault."
"But I haven't even touched you!!" says the Warden.
"That's true. But you have all the equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment."
"Enjoy your book, ma'am, and have a nice day," says the Warden as he quickly drives away.
