A man was recently stopped by a game warden in northern Montana. The fellow, carring two buckets of fish, was leaving a lake well known for it's fishing. The game warden asked the man, Do you have a liscense to catch those fish? If you don't, I'm going to have to impound them as evidence. "No sir. These fish are my pet fish." "Pet fish?" the warden replied. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take them home." "That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works." "O.K. I've GOT to see this!" The game warden was curious now. The man poured the fish back in to the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well?" "Well What?" the man responded. "When are you going to call them back?" The game warden prompted. "Call who back?" The man asked. "The FISH." "What fish?" The man asked. Old digger.
