Nicholas Schweitzer dives deep into the bureaucracy at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and finds some obscure permit requirements. My favorite:

It shall be unlawful for any person, except licensed bait dealers to have in possession or under control more than 600 minnows at any time. A licensed bait dealer must be present while employees are collecting bait and the licensed bait dealer must have their license available for inspection.

“So what are you in for?”

“Minnows.”
