Over Fished

A man had a licence to fish in privately owned waters. A condition was that there was a limit to the number of fish he could take in one day. This was not a problem at first because he caught very little.

Then one day the fish began biting so well that he couldn't bring himself to stop when he had reached his limit. He was caught on his way home. His catch was confiscated, and he was taken to court.

The magistrate heard the evidence that he had caught 17 more fish than he was entitled to. He was found guilty and fined $10. The magistrate asked if he had anything to say. He replied:

"Yes, Your Worship. Could I have a photocopy of the court records to show my friends?"
