A game warden spots a man walking away from a pond with an ice chest, so he stops to check it out. He asks the man to open the chest, to find it's half full of trout. He informs the man that it isn't trout season, and that he is going to arrest him.
"I ain't been fishin' - these here are my pet trout", says the man.
"What do you mean 'pet trout' ", asks the warden.
The man answers, "I have a big aquarium at home where I keep them. Once a week or so, I bring them down to the pond, let them swim around for about 15 minutes or so, then I call them, they all come back, hop in the ice chest, and I take them home."
"That's a bunch of crap!", says the warden.
"If you want, I can show you," says the man
"OK" says the warden.
They walk back to the pond, the man walks to the edge, lifts the lid, and lets the fish out. He closes the lid and sits down. After about 15 minutes, the warden asks, "Well, when are you going to call your 'pet' fish back?"
The man looks at him, smiles, and says, "What fish?"
