The blonde looked at Homer and said, “Do you think he’ll jump?”

Homer replied, “You know, I bet he’ll jump.”

The blonde said, “Well, I bet he won’t.”

Homer placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, “You’re on.”

Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset and handed $20 to Homer saying, “Fair’s fair, here’s your money.”

Homer replied, “I can’t take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o’clock news and knew he would jump.”

The blonde replied, “I saw it too, but I didn’t think he’d do it again.”

Homer took the money.

The man replied, “No, sir. These are my pet fish.”

“Pet fish?!” the warden said.

“Yes, sir. Every night I take these fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home.”

“That’s a bunch of hooey! Fish can’t do that!”

The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, “Here, I’ll show you. It really works.”

“O.K. I’ve GOT to see this!” the game warden replied.

The man poured the fish into the water and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, “Well?”

“Well, what?” the man asked.

“When are you going to call them back?” the game warden prompted.

“Call who back?” the man asked.

“The FISH.”

“What fish?” the man asked.
