Dad and the Highway Patrol

My Dad is an avid fisherman. He was always driving his pickup pulling his fishing boat on these trips.

On this trip, Dad fell in line with several trucks and other vehicles - all going over the speed limit. As the convoy neared a highway patrol car sitting beside the road, the speed decreased. Nonetheless, to my Dad's dismay, the highway patrol chose his vehicle to pull over.

Once the formalities were over, the patrolman began writing my Dad a speeding ticket. A bit perturbed, Dad asked the patrolman why he had been pulled over when all of the vehicles in the group had been speeding.

The patrolman looked back at Dad's boat and said, "Sir, I see you are a fisherman."

"Yes sir, I am," my Dad replied.

"When you go fishing, do you always catch them all?" questioned the patrolman.

"No sir, I don't," replied my Dad.

With a smile on his face, the patrolman said, "Neither do I!"
