Women Who Read

One morning while a couple was on vacation, the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and starts reading her book.

A short while later, a game warden came along in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, “Good morning Ma’am. What are you doing?" 

“Reading a book”, she replies (thinking, “Isn’t that obvious”) 

“You are in a restricted fishing area”, he informs her. 

“I’m sorry officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading.” 

“Yes, but you have all the fishing equipment in your boat. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

“If you do that, I’ll have to charge you for sexual assault”, says the woman.

“But I haven’t even touched you”, says the game warden.

“That’s true, but you have all the equipment to do so. For all I know, you could start at any moment.”

“Have a nice day, ma’am”, and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think and talk.
