The game warden finally caught up to him. "Let's see yer fishin' license, boy!" the warden demanded.
With that, the fella pulled out his wallet and gave the game warden a valid fishing license.
"Well, son," the game warden said, "you must be about as dumb as a box of rocks! You don't have to run from me if you have a valid license!"
"Yes sir," replied the young fella. "But my friend back there, well, he doesn't have one."
