I. Mark twain and the game warden

Once Mark Twain was fishing. A stranger came along and asked him, "Are you catching any fish?"

"I caught fifteen trout in this stream yesterday," Mark Twain said.

"Is that so?" said the stranger. "Well, do you know who I am?"

"No," said Mark Twain.

"Well, I am the game warden of this county," answered the stranger. "And trout are out of season."

Mark Twain thought a while. Then he asked, "By the way, do you know who I am?"

"No," replied the game warden.

"Well, I am the biggest liar in this county," said Mark Twain.
