Sauce for the Goose

A couple goes on holiday to a fishing resort.  The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn but his wife likes to read.  One morning he returned to the chalet after several hours and decides to take a nap.  Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.  She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.
     Along comes a game warden in his boat.  He pulls up alongside the woman and says, “Good morning, Ma'am.  What are you doing?”
     “Reading a book,” she replies (thinking, ‘isn't it obvious?’). 
     “You're in a restricted fishing area,” he informs her. 
     “I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading.” 
     “Yes, but you have all the equipment.  For all I know you could start at any moment.  I'll have to take you in and write you up.”
     “If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,” says the woman. 
     “But I haven't even touched you!” exclaimed the game warden. 
     “That's true, but you have all the equipment.  For all I know, you could start at any moment.”
     “Enjoy your read, ma'am,” he replied after a moment, and left.
