A FISH STORY

A hillbilly was stopped by a game warden in Kentucky recently with two ice
chests of fish. He was leaving a cove well known for its fishing. The game
warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to catch those fish?'
'Naw, sir, I ain't got none of them there licenses, no. You must understand
these here are my pet fish.'
'Pet fish?' said the game warden.
'Ya. Every night I take these here fish down to da lake and let them swim
'round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump rat back into this here ice
chest and I take them home.'
'That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!' says the warden.
The hillbilly looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, 'It's
the truth Mr.Government man, I'll show you. It really works.'
'Okay,' said the game warden, ' I've GOT to see this!'
The hillbilly poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After
several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, 'Well?'
'Well, what?' said the hillbilly.
The warden said, 'When are you going to call them back?'
The hillbilly said, 'Call who back?'
'The FISH!' replied the warden.
'What fish?' answered the hillbilly.
We in Kentucky may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we aren't as
dumb as most government employees.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
