🐟🐟Monday's funny - Pet fish🐟🐟

Fiona from Henderson

A man was stopped by a fishery officer recently with two chilly bins full of live fish in water, leaving a river well known for its fishing.

The fishery officer asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"Nah, my friend, I ain't got no license. These here are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?"

"Yep. Every night I take these fish down to the river and let 'em swim round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this chilly in and I take 'em home."

"That's a bunch of rubbish! Fish can't do that!"

The man looked at the fishery officer for a moment and then said, "It's the truth. I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"

The man poured the fish into the river and stood and waited. After several minutes, the fishery officer turned to him and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" said the man.

"When are you going to call them back?"
"Call who back?"

"The FISH!"

"What fish?"

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
