Never Argue With A Woman

Never Argue with a Woman
One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.

Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongs ide the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."

"Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,"says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the Game Warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL :
Never argue with a woman who reads.
It's likely she can also think.

P.S. Actually, I've never needed to, but we've only been together six years or so. Things just keep getting better!

So nice to hear that JohnG. .... Keep it that way, buddy !!! Actually its okay to have arguments, but they should never be carried to the next day !!

How strange you should say that Shyam.
It's just what my partner said when I told her about your joke, which she enjoyed too BTW.
She disagreed with me and said that we had argued on one or two occasions but always resolved matters before sleep. It would have been churlish of me to disagree, let alone foolish!
Never argue with a woman, especially one that reads books!
Keep up the good work.

After 27 years of marital bliss, I've found it's okay to argue (or maybe just "discuss"), but it's always best to bite your tongue and let her have the last word. You've had your say; pressing the issue will not make things better in the end.

This was a great story! Thanks Shyam.

:)Well folks after 47 years of 'wedded bliss' my secret is to always have the last two words in all discussions,"YES DEAR"!!!! it never fails,Simmo ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[JohnG]

Ah! Only sometimes Simmo. My partner takes "yes dear" as being a patronising comment, like "I know I'm right but I'll let you have the last word." which of course it is. I find silence and a nod of acquiescence works best. Oh, and eye contact and a smile.
