John was excited to try ice fishing for the first time. He took his equipment, found a frozen lake, and started drilling a hole in the ice. Suddenly, a deep voice boomed from above:
“There are no fish under the ice!”
John looked around, startled. He moved to another spot and started drilling again.
“There are no fish under the ice!” the voice repeated.
Terrified, John looked up and asked, “Is that you, God?”
The voice sighed, “No, this is the ice rink manager.”
