One day while out on our fishing boat, we heard a woman calling for help. Pointing frantically toward a sinking row boat, she shouted to us, “My husband can’t swim!”

Although the water was up to his chest, the man remained a fisherman through and through: as we reached down to pull him aboard our boat, he lifted a large, still-struggling salmon in his hand, and yelled, “Take the fish!”

In a small fishing village in Newfoundland, a local was walking up the wharf carrying two three-pound live lobsters, one in each hand. It was three weeks after the season had closed.

 

Whom should he meet at the end of the wharf but the Federal Fisheries Officer who, upon viewing the live and wiggling lobsters, says, “Well, me laddie I got you this time – with two live lobsters three weeks after the season has closed!”
