A Cajun with two ice chests of fish was stopped by a game warden in
Southern Louisiana recently as he was leaving a bayou well known for
its fishing.

The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those
fish?"

"Naw, ma fren, I ain't got none of dem, no. Dese are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?!"

"Ya. Avery night I take dese here fish down to de bayou and let dem
swim 'round for a while. I wistle and dey jump rat back into dere ice
chests and I take dem home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"

The Cajun looked at the game warden for a moment and then said,"It's
de truth ma' fren, I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"

The Cajun poured the fish into the bayou and stood and waited. After
several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" said the Cajun.

"When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The FISH."

"What fish ?"
