一个酒鬼想在冰上垂钓，因此，他整理好钓鱼用具后，便四处去寻找钓鱼场所。最终，他发现了一大块冰，就跑到冰的中心开始锯洞。

这时，突然从天空中传来一个急速扩大的声音。“你是不会在冰的下面找到鱼的。”

这个酒鬼朝周围看了看，可是没有一个人影。他又继续锯了起来。那个说话人的声音再次响了起来：“我已经说过了，冰的下面没有鱼。”

那个酒鬼又向四周从高处到低处看了半天，可还是什么也没有看见。他又拿起锯继续往下锯。

他刚要锯冰面的时候，那个巨大的声音喝止他说：“现在，我第三次警告你，这下面没有鱼!”

酒鬼顿时有些惊慌失措，甚至恐惧起来，于是他问那个声音：“你是如何知道这下面没有鱼的?上帝呀，难道是你在警告我吗?”

“不是，”那个声音回答他，“我是冰球场的经理。”

A drunk decides to go ice fishing, so he gathers his gear and goes walking around until he finds a big patch of ice. He heads into the center of the ice and begins to saw a hole.

All of a sudden, a loud booming voice comes out of the sky. "You will find no fish under that ice."

The drunk looks around, but sees no one. He starts sawing again. Once more, the voice speaks, "as I said before, there are no fish under the ice."

The drunk looks all around, high and low, but can't see a single soul. He picks up the saw and tries one more time to finish.

Before he can even start cutting, the huge voice interrupts. "I have warned you three times now. There are no fish!"

The drunk is now flustered and somewhat scared, so he asks the voice, "how do you know there are no fish? Are you God trying to warn me?"

"No," the voice replied. "I am the manager of this hockey rink."
