A  couple  went  on vacation to a fishing resort up north.The husband liked to fish  at the crack of dawn; the wife preferred to read.   One morning the husband returned  after  several  hours  of fishing and decided to take a short nap. The wife  decided  to  take the boat out.  She was not familiar with the lake so she rowed out, anchored the boat, and started reading her book.
Along comes the sheriff in his boat, pulls up alongside and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading  my  book," she replies as she thinks to herself, 'Is this guy blind or  what??'
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.
But, Officer, I'm not fishing. Can't you see that?"
"But  you have all this equipment, Ma'am. I'll have  to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that I will charge you with rape," snaps the irate woman.
"I didn't even touch you," grouses the sheriff.
"Yes, that's true ... but you have all the equipment  ..."

Moral: never argue with a woman who knows how to read.
