An oldie but goodie:
A young game warden is on his first week working for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries. During the week while he patrols a certain local boat ramp, he notices that every afternoon ol' Mr. Thibodeaux always seems to come in with a nice limit of fish. Finally he decides to strike up a conversation with Mr. Thibodeaux.
"Afternoon, Mr. Thibodeaux! I've noticed that you seem to know all of the hot fishing spots. I sure would appreciate it if you would share one or two of your fishin' spots with me. I'm fairly new around here and haven't had much luck on my own."
Not being overly fond of game wardens, Mr. Thibodeaux ignores him.
But the young warden persist: "Mr. Thibodeaux, I promise I won't share any tips you give me with anyone for the rest of my life, on my honor!"
Finally, Mr. Thibodeaux relents: "C'est bon! Be here at 4:30 ina mawnin' and I'll put you on some fish, I guarontee."
The next morning the game warden meets Mr. Thibodeaux and they set out in his small fishing boat. After a few minutes, they pull into a small secluded, swampy cove and Mr. Thibodeaux stops the boat. The game warden begins to bait his hook with a nightcrawler. Meanwhile, Mr. Thibedeaux pulls out a small plastic case, opens it, pulls out a stick of dynamite, sticks a fuse into it, lights it and throws it overboard.
Boom!!! :fireworks:
Fish begin to float up to the surface, stunned by the blast and Mr. Thibodeaux paddles the boat around, plucking the fish off the water and putting them on his stringer.
The young game warden flips out. "Mr. Thibodeaux, that is illegal! Do you realize that I could have you arrested for what you just did."
While the game warden is carrying on in this manner, Mr. Thibodeaux reaches into the case, pulls out another stick of dynamite, sticks a fuse into it, lights it and shoves it into the young warden's hand.
"You gonna sit there and jaw boy, or you gonna fish?"
