" Why do fly fishermen routinely stretch the truth about the size of the
fish they catch? Why does it rain? Why does the wind blow? Why does
the sun shine, the thunder clap. All these are natural occurences,
including a little embellishment about the size and fight of our fish,
so why sweat the small stuff. A big fish always makes for a better
story than a lowly seven incher. You know you're stretching the truth
and so does the fisherman you're telling it to. And nine times out of
ten, when he tells you about his fish, it will be larger than yours."
JIMMY D
P.S. If you say you've never stretched the truth about a fish you
caught once upon a time, I'll say you're fibbing, just like the fly
fisherman who says he's never busted his butt on a stream.
