A fishing tale for old salts.

"Rodgera" and "Fenderbelly" were out fishing but caught nothing all

day. Another fisherman walked by with a basket full so they asked

where he caught them.

He replied, "If you just go down the stream until the water is no

longer salty, there are many hungry fish".

They thanked him and set off downstream. "Rodgera" said, "Fill the

bucket up with water and we will test it". "Fenderbelly tested the

water but it was still salty".

They went further downstream, tested the water again but it was

still salty. Another five stops further on and they got the same

result, the water was still salty.

After two hours of walking "Rodgera" said, "This is no good and the

water is still as salty as it was at the start".

"Fenderbelly" replied, "Yeah, I know, and I think we have problems

because the bucket is nearly empty!"
