One morning, after her husband returned from fishing and had decided to take a nap, the wife thought of taking the boat out for a little ride of her own. Although not very familiar with the topography of the lake, as she was visiting the the camping cum fishing site for the first time, she motored out to a short distance, anchored and started reading the newly released, claimed to be a novel by E.L. James, which she had picked up at the airport.

Barely five minutes had passed, when, out of nowhere, popped up a Game Warden in his boat. He pulled up alongside the lady and told her in a matter of fact manner, “Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?”
gap
“Reading a book,” she replied, while keeping to herself, the next part that almost slipped out, “Isn’t that obvious?”
gap
The warden did not seem to be impressed. “You’re in a restricted fishing area”, he informed her in a gravely tone.
gap
“I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading a book!”
gap
“Yes, I can see that. But, you have all the equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.” The warden, evidently, had an unrelenting attitude.
gap
“For reading a book?”, she exasperatedly asked!
gap
“You’re in a restricted fishing area ….”, he droned on, like a robot. The lady, this time, enraged, cut him off sharply, “I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. For your kind information, I’m reading!” The warden, clearly in a league of his own, brushed aside the angry tone in her speech and repeated, “Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

By this time, she had already had enough, and decided to strike back. “If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault”, says the woman, in a calm voice.
gap
“But, but..”, stumbled the warden, “I haven’t even touched you”! He was clearly perplexed.
gap
“That’s true, but you have all the necessary equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment”, the lady replied in an even calmer voice.
gap
“Have a nice day Ma’am”, that was all, the warden could mutter, before he hurriedly left the place. :-)
