Gone Fishing
A game warden noticed how a particular fellow named Sam consistently
caught more fish than anyone else. Whereas the other guys would only
catch three or four fish a day, Sam would come in from the lake with a
boat full of fish. Stringer after stringer was packed with freshly caught
trout. The warden, curious, asked Sam his secret. The successful
fisherman invited the game warden to accompany him and observe.

So the next morning, the two met at the dock and took off in Sam's
boat. When they got to the middle of the lake, Sam stopped the boat, and
the warden sat back to see how it was done.

Sam's approach was simple: He took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and
threw it into the air. The explosion rocked the lake with such a force
that dead fish immediately began to surface. Sam took out a net and
started scooping them up.

Well, you can imagine the reaction of the game warden. When he recovered
from the shock of it all, he began yelling at Sam, "You can't do
this! I'll put you in jail, buddy! You will be paying every fine there
is in the book!"

Sam, meanwhile, set his net down and took out another stick of
dynamite. He lit it and tossed it in the lap of the game warden with
these words: "Are you going to sit there all day complaining, or are you
going to fish?"
