Don't know why, but most fisherman are fantastic liars.

Two fishermen were spinning tales of their recent catches. Said one:

"Last week I caught a three-hundred-pound salmon." To which the second fisherman replied:

"Bah, that's impossible! Salmon never weigh three hundred pounds."

"Mine did!" roared the first fisherman stubbornly.

"Well," drawled the second fisherman, "I wasn't going to tell you this, but last week I was fishing and I pulled up an old lantern. There was a tag on it, too, and it said that the lantern had been dropped into the water back in 1910, but even stranger than that, believe it or not, the light inside the lantern was still lit. "

Whereupon the first fisherman sighed wearily and said:

"My friend, let's get together on these stories. I'll take a hundred pounds off my fish if you'll put the light out in that lantern."
