Never Argue With an Intelligent Woman

One morning 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 reads her book.

Along comes a game warden 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 write you up."

"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 game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day, ma'ma," and he left.

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

The New $5 bill and the Old Gas Pumps

Gary's post about the new $5 bill reminded me of a story I read yesterday. It seems that some of the old gas stations are living in fear of $4.00 per gallon gas. The reason is that lots of the old, pre-digital gas pumps can't handle anything more than $3.99 per gallon on their pricing mechanisms. I imagine that way back when they were building these things and gas was twenty cents per gallon, buying gas for $2.99 seemed like a flight of fancy. And yes, I said $2.99 not $3.99. Many of these pumps have already been upgraded once.

Ah, here's the story: link

So if this summer you stop at a little station with manual pumps and the price is either covered up or you think you're getting a great deal, think again. Gas is over $4 but the machinery can't handle it.
