Boudreaux was stopped by the fish and game warden in Louisiana
recently with two ice chests full of fish.
He was leaving a small lake well known for its great fishing.
The game warden asked Boudreaux, "Do you have a license to catch
those fish?"
No sir, I ain't got no fishin license."
"You must understand dat deez here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?" asked the warden.
"Every night I take deez here fish down to da lake and let dem swim
'round for a while."
"Den I whistle and dey jump back into da ice chest and I taked
emhome again."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" says the game warden.
Boudreaux looked at the game warden for a moment and then he said,
"By golly, dat's the gospel, Mr. Government man, I'll show you it
really works!" "Okay", said the game warden, "I've GOT to see this!"

Boudreaux poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After
several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"
"Well, what?" said Boudreaux.
The warden said, "When are you going to call them back?"
Boudreaux said, "Call who back?"
"The FISH!" replied the warden.
"What fish?" answered Boudreaux.
"Now, we in the South might not be as smart as some of them city
slickers, but we ain't as dumb as some government employees neither..."
