CHILDREN’S CARD GAME ‘GO FISH’ OUTLAWED BY DEPT. OF FISH & WILDLIFE

The popular children’s card game “Go Fish” has been declared illegal. The Federal Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, due to environmental concerns.

For generations, children have enjoyed this simple game, in which one player asks the other “Do you have any __?” With ___ being a particular card, like a seven, or a Jack. If the opposing player doesn’t have any of that card, that player says “Go fish,” and the first player has to draw cards. Which is a bad thing, since the goal is to get rid of all of yours.

But now the game has been outlawed.

“This so-called ‘game’ is dangerous on so many levels,” chimed Harold Tilapia, Chief Game Warden at the Environmental Protection Agency.

“From this ‘innocent’ game children learn that whenever you ask for something and don’t get it, the proper response is to go fishing. So when these kids grow up and ask the wife for a little ‘private. time, she turns them down. Their immediate reaction is to grab a rod and reel and try to snag a grouper.

HUSBANDS GO FISHING

“You would be flabbergasted to learn how many fish have died because husbands were turned down for sex.” Tilapia continued. “Entire species are in danger of becoming extinct because rejected husbands turn to fishing instead of Pornhub.”

Aside from causing oceans to be overfished, Tilapia insists the card game teaches children to waive their civil liberties.

“Asking your opponent to reveal what cards he has and surrender them is an invasion of privacy. The proper answer to that question is ‘Do you have a warrant?”

But Wilson Pinochle, head of the powerful Card Players Lobby of America, vows to call Tilapia’s bluff and up the ante. “This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I have one thing to say to him. ‘Go fish yourself.”

  1. This is a real problem in the UK as well, and I think the only proper response to be given is, “I maintain my right against self-incrimination.”
