Three blondes were sitting beside a quiet river on a warm afternoon with fishing poles in their hands and their lines hanging in the water. People passing by smiled and waved as boats slowly moved across the river. Everything looked completely normal. They sat there laughing, talking, and enjoying themselves while waiting beside the water like ordinary fishermen on a peaceful day.

A game warden eventually walked up behind them and tapped one of them on the shoulder. “Excuse me, ladies, I’d like to see your fishing licenses,” he said. The first blonde looked confused and immediately replied that none of them had fishing licenses. The officer frowned and explained that anyone fishing in the river needed one.

The second blonde quickly smiled and shook her head. “We’re not fishing,” she explained. “There are magnets tied to the ends of our lines. We’re cleaning debris from the bottom of the river.” Curious, the officer bent down and inspected each line carefully. To his surprise, all three really did have magnets attached instead of hooks.

The officer stood there for a moment thinking about it. Finally he shrugged his shoulders and said there was no law against removing junk from the river. “Take all the debris you want,” he said before walking away. The three women waited silently until he disappeared around the corner.

Then all three suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter. One finally looked at the others and whispered, “See? We told you those car keys, watches, and wallets would count as debris.” The laughing somehow became even louder.
