Can they really do this?

[Dechipher]

A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota.
The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.
One morning the husband returns 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, and continues to read her book.
Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "isn't this 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 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.




If women can do that, we're screwed

It's always funny when you think about what it means to be a sexist. You never here dudes complaining that the girl models make more money than them, do you?
No, but I think alot of things in society are unfair in one regards to one group or another. It's really too bad.
Nice joke, though(I couldn't tell if it was or not.)

Yeah, it was a joke, but it makes you wonder if women can actually do that. You never hear about women raping men, so to speak, because men aren't gonna falsely accuse women of that, though the inverse, I cannot say is true.

Sorry to spoil the joke, but there is a bit of a difference that may or may not be significant enough to treat the two cases differently.

A guy's equipment is permanently attached to his person.

The fishing equipment could have been removed and placed into storage.

Were I the officer, I would simply lead the lady's boat back to unrestricted areas of the lake without writing her up.

It is a funny joke though.

Last time I checked, a guy's equipment can be quite easily removed and placed into storage. See this (http://www.armageddongames.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=77057) thread.

Were I the officer, I would have left immediately (as he did), because she could very well abide by her statement.
