Thanks to all of you who send me your good laughs. Here’s another one from Katherine.  <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In praise of Women Who Read.<\/strong>
\n One morning a husband returns to the cabin after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
\n Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out, since it is such a beautiful day. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat.
\n He pulls up alongside the woman and says, ” Good morning, Ma’am, what are you doing?”
\n“Reading a book,” she replies , (thinking,”Isn’t that obvious?”)
\n “You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,” he informs her. “I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing, I’m reading.”
\n “Yes, but you have all the equipment. I’ll have to write you up a ticket. ”
\n “For reading a book,” she replies.
\n “You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area ,” he informs her again .”
\n “But officer, I’m not fishing, I’m reading.”
\n “Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to write you up a ticket and you’ll have to pay a fine.”
\n “If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,” says the woman.
\n “But I haven’t even touched you,” says the Game Warden .
\n “That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.”
\n “Have a nice day ma’am,” and he immediately departed.<\/p>\n

MORAL:
\nNever argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.
\nSure God created man before woman.
\nBut then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
