Okay I was rereading this thread, and Moi's story from her grandpa about the driver and the cop made me remember a story-joke from I-don't-actually-remember-where. I think an old roommate told it to me, but I'm not sure where she got it from.
Anyhow!
So a woman and her husband go out camping, and he's really into fishing and she's more of a reader but likes the outdoors so it usually works out pretty well -he brings fishing gear, she brings a few books, they head out to the wilderness and each enjoy their own thing.
They portage and paddle into the parklands, and get a nice camping spot set up on one of the smaller islands of a lake. Next morning she sleeps in and her husband loads the canoe up with his fishing gear and heads out early. By the time she wakes up, he's made a nice fish breakfast for them, and they more or less swap places -he heads into the tent for a nap and she takes the canoe back out on the water with her book, to float on the lake and read.
Every once in a while another canoeist will pass her and they'll exchange greetings and she'll go back to her book.
Except just before lunch time, the canoeist that greets her is a park ranger.
And he asks to see her fishing licence.
"Fishing licence? But I'm not fishing, I'm reading!"
"Well, right this moment that's true. But you have the equipment, and for all I know you could start any time, so you need a licence. And if you don't have one, I'm going to have to write you up for it."
She looks at him for a moment, and then says, "Oh, well, in that case I guess I'll have to write you up for sexual harassment. After all, you have the equipment, and for all I know...."
He left without giving her a ticket.
