A Wise Woman ...

[Stringent]

A couple go on holiday to a fishing resort at Lakes Entrance. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lakes area, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.

Along comes a fishing inspector 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're 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 equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and make a report."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the man.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. 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.

Sorta like a VERY old Max Miller joke....
A couple were staying at a seaside b&b. After their weeks holiday, the husband goes to settle the bill. Examining the receipt, he notices a 3/6 (17.5p) extra charge.
"What's this for?" he asks the landlord
"Use of the cruet" the landlord replies
"But we never used the cruet" the husband protests
"Well," says the landlord, "it was there for your use, whether you used it or not you still have to pay"
"All right," the husband tells him, "but you owe us £2"
"Why??"
"For sleeping with my wife"
"But I never slept with your wife...."
