Bird Watching

"Bird Watching"*

*A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air
Force pilots stationed on the Falkland Islands have
devised what they consider a marvelous new game.

Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by
airplanes, the pilots search out a beach where the
birds are gathered and fly slowly along it at the water's edge.

Perhaps ten thousand penguins turn their heads in
unison watching the planes go by, and when the
pilots turn around and fly back, the birds turn their
heads in the opposite direction, like spectators at
a slow-motion tennis match.

Then, the paper reports, "The pilots fly out to sea and
directly to the penguin colony and overfly it.

Heads go up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins fall
over gently onto their backs.

"Gone Fishing"*
*
Three blondes are sitting by the side of a river holding
fishing poles with the lines in the water. A Game
Warden comes up behind them, taps one of them
on the shoulder and says, "Excuse me, ladies, I'd like
to see your fishing licenses."
 
"We don't have any." replied the first blonde.
 
"Well,if your going to fish, you need fishing licenses."
said the Game Warden.
 
"But officer," replied the second blonde, "we aren't
fishing. We all have magnets at the end of our lines
and we're collecting debris off the bottom of the river."
 
The Game Warden lifted up all the lines and, sure
enough, there were horseshoe magnets tied on the
end of each line.
 
"Well, I know of no law against it," said the Game
Warden, "take all the debris you want." And with
that, the Game Warden left.
 
As soon as the Game Warden was out of sight, the
three blondes started laughing hysterically.

"What a dumb Fish Cop," the second blonde said
to the other two, "Doesn't he know that there are
steelhead in this river?!"
