What Would Rodney Do?
An Okie was stopped by a game warden with two ice chests full of fish leaving a cove well known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to catch those fish?' 'No, sir', replied the Okie. 'I ain't got none of them there licenses. You must understand, these here are my pet fish.'
'Pet fish?'
'Yeah. Every night, I take these here fish down to the lake and let 'em swim 'round for awhile. Then, when I whistle, they jump right back into these here ice chests and I take 'em home.'
'Fish can't do that!'
The Okie looked at the warden for a moment and then said, 'It's the truth and I'll show ya. It really works.'
'OK', said the warden. 'I've got to see this!'
The Okie poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the warden says, 'Well?'
'Well, what?', says the Okie.
The warden says, 'When are you going to call them back?'
'Call who back?'

That definitely would describe Rodney's reaction.
