<<<Off Topic>>> Intentions of drillers

Big, et al,
My last post reminded me of this story which you might find amusing.

A married couple is spending the summer by a lake. The man is a keen fisherman and has a well-equiped small fishing boat. He goes out early every morning to fish. One late morning he returns as usual to their lakeside cabin and lays down for a nap.
--The wife decides this morning that it might be pleasant to take the boat out herself and enjoy a few quiet hours on the lake. She motors across the lake to a quiet cove, drops anchor, and relaxes on deck with a cool drink and a novel.
--After she's been there reading for an hour or so, the boat of the local fisheries warden pulls into the cove.
--He says "Well maam, this cove is a 'No Fishing' Area, and I'm going to have to give you a ticket."
--"But," she replied, "I'm Not fishing, as you can plainly see. I'm just sitting here reading a book,"
--"Yes maam, but your boat is just full of fishing gear. I'm going to ticket you because you've got that equipment."
--"Well, she says, "If you do, I'm going to charge you with Rape."
--"What!" He is shocked. "I never touched you!!"
--"Perhaps not," she answered, "But you've got the equipment."
