ALL THE EQUIPMENT

A couple went on vacation to a resort up north. One morning, the husband came back from fishing after getting up really early that morning and took a nap. The wife decided to take the boat out. She was not familiar with the lake, so she rowed out a short distance from shore, anchored the boat and started on reading a book she had brought with her.

Along comes the sheriff in his boat -- pulls up alongside and asks, "What are you doing out here?"

She replies, "I'm just reading a book."

"Well, ma'am, this is a restricted area", he says. Then he sees all the fishing equipment in the boat and continues, "You can't fish here, ma'am."

To which she replies, "I'm not fishing. I'm merely sitting here reading my book."

"But you have all this equipment; I will have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I will charge you with rape."

"Why ... I didn't even touch you."

"No, you haven't, but you have all the equipment..."
