Leaving a bayou in Southern Louisiana well known for its fishing, a Cajun was stopped by a game warden. The game warden pulled along side the Cajun's
boat and noticed two ice chests full of fish.
"Do you have a license to catch those fish?" the game warden asked.
"Naw, ma' fren, I ain't got none of dem, no. Dese here are ma' pet fish,"the Cajun proudly replied.
"Pet fish?!" the warden said.
"You betcha pet fish,"said the Cajun. The Cajun explained, "Avery night I take ma' pet fish down to de bayou and let dem swim 'round for a while, and
when I think dey had enough swimmin' for da evenin' den I whistle and dey jump rat back into dese here ice chests and I take dem home."
"That's a bunch of bull, fish can't do that!" the warden demanded.
The Cajun looked at the game warden and said, "It's de truth, ma'fren. Here, I'll show you."
So the Cajun carefully picked up each of the two ice chests, gently poured the fish into the bayou, then sat back in his boat chair, crossed his arms, and quietly waited.

"What fish?"
