Pennsylvania Gov. Robert P. Casey discovered that you're neveras big a fish as you might think.
It happened in Hamlin, Pa., population 300, while he was at hisvacation home. Casey was chauffeured by a state police trooper on atrip to buy a fishing license.
Dressed in shorts and a golf shirt, Casey filled out anapplication and handed it to the clerk. "She looks at me and says,`Are you a Pennsylvania resident?' " Casey said.
"And I just deadpanned. I said, `Yes, I'm a Pennsylvaniaresident."'
"She says, `You got a driver's license?' "
"I said no."
"You got a voter's card?"
"No."
"You got the certificate of title to your car?"
"No."
"She said, `Where do you live?' "
"And I said, `I live in Scranton, I got a place in Lake Arieland I'm a Pennsylvania resident.' "
Finally, the trooper with Casey vouched for him. The clerkapproved the application, telling the governor, "I'm going to make anexception in your case."
