[nilesfunnies] Hamish the poacher

Hamish the poacher was stopped by the police, somewhere in the Scottish
Highlands recently, with two buckets of fish, leaving a river well known
for its fishing.

The Policeman asked him, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

Hamish replied, "These are my pet fish."

"Pet fish!?" the officer asked.

"Yes sir. Every night I take these fish down to the river and let them
swim around for a while. When I whistle, they jump back into the
buckets, and I take them home."

"That's a lot of crap! Fish can't do that!"

Hamish looked at the officer for a moment, and then said "Here I'll show
you, it really works."

"O.K. I've got to see this!" The officer was curious now. Hamish poured
the fish into the stream and stood and waited.

After several minutes, the Policeman turned to him and said "Well?"

"Well, What?" Hamish responded.

"When are you going to call them back?" The officer prompted.

"Call who back?" Hamish asked.

"The fish." replied the officer.

"What fish?" asked Hamish ......
