A Red Sox fan, with two ice chests full of lobster, was stopped by a game warden in the bay off Chatham. As he was leaving a cove well-known for its lobsters, the game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those lobsters?"
"No, sir", replied the Red Sox fan. "I ain't got a license heah. You must understand, these are my pet lahbstahs."
"Pet lobsters?"
"Ay-yah! Every night, I take these lahbstahs down to the bay and let 'em swim 'round for awhile. Then, when I whistle, they jump right back into these ice chests heah and I take 'em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Lobsters can't do that."
The Red Sox fan looked at the warden for a moment and then said, "It's the truth Mr. Government Man. I'll show ya. It really works."
"'O. K.", said the warden. "I've got to see this!"
The Red Sox fan poured the lobsters into the bay and stood and waited. After several minutes, the warden says, "Well?"
"Well, what?" says the Red Sox fan.
The warden says, "When are you going to call them back?"
"Call who back?"
"THE LOBSTERS!"' replied the warden.
"What lahbstahs?" replied the Red Sox fan.
