bestmadeco: The Classic Ice Fishing Joke A man wakes up early one morning to go ice fishing. He dresses warmly, and heads out onto the ice with his tent, his ice auger, his fishing rods, and his sittin’ bucket, and begins to auger a hole in the ice. After just a few seconds of drilling with the auger a big booming voice from above intones: “THERE  ARE  NO  FISH  UNDER  THE  ICE HERE!” The man looks around and, not being a very religious man, resumes drilling his hole in the ice. Again, he hears the thunderous voice: “THERE  ARE  NO  FISH  UNDER  THE  ICE  HERE!” Becoming a little spooked, the man packs up his gear and moves 30 feet from where he was and begins making a new hole in the ice. “THERE  ARE  NO  FISH  UNDER  THE  ICE  HERE  EITHER!” the voice thunders again.  The man looks up, “God, is that you?” The voice responds “NO,  IT’S  THE  MANAGER  OF  THE  ICE  RINK!!” This joke has been told countless times. It’s a good bet that most folks hailing from the upper midwest and northeastern United States, as well as most of Canada have heard at least one variation on it. In the world of joke telling, the topic of fishing is quite a popular one, although ice fishing jokes make up a very small percentage of all fishing jokes. This may be attributed to the fact that extreme cold weather often times does not put a person in a joking mood.  My dad loves to tell this joke, and I laugh every time. :)

The Classic Ice Fishing Joke

A man wakes up early one morning to go ice fishing. He dresses warmly, and heads out onto the ice with his tent, his ice auger, his fishing rods, and his sittin’ bucket, and begins to auger a hole in the ice. After just a few seconds of drilling with the auger a big booming voice from above intones: “THERE  ARE  NO  FISH  UNDER  THE  ICE HERE!” The man looks around and, not being a very religious man, resumes drilling his hole in the ice. Again, he hears the thunderous voice: “THERE  ARE  NO  FISH  UNDER  THE  ICE  HERE!” Becoming a little spooked, the man packs up his gear and moves 30 feet from where he was and begins making a new hole in the ice. “THERE  ARE  NO  FISH  UNDER  THE  ICE  HERE  EITHER!” the voice thunders again. 

The man looks up, “God, is that you?”

The voice responds “NO,  IT’S  THE  MANAGER  OF  THE  ICE  RINK!!”

This joke has been told countless times. It’s a good bet that most folks hailing from the upper midwest and northeastern United States, as well as most of Canada have heard at least one variation on it.
