Fish Story

Two guys are out fishing when they see a game warden heading their way.
One guy takes off running.
The game warden runs after him. After about a half mile chase, the game warden catches the man.
“Let’s see your fishing license” the game warden tell the man.
The man pulls out a valid fishing license and shows him.
“OK, lets go see how many fish you have on your stringer” say the game warden.
They walk back and the game warden sees that he is under the limit and they are all legal size.
“Ok pal, you have a valid license and your fish are legal and under limit. Why did you take off running?” ask the game warden.
The man says, “My buddy didn’t have a license".
