Come On Now!!!

Don’t know about many of you...but having a wide variety of ‘nautical family and friends’....I am surrounded by people who can really tell some....Tall Tales!
Being dubious toward these tales has prevented me from becoming the ‘butt’ of their ‘foolheartedness’ at times.
Then at other times......they really were speaking the God’s truth!

Take the time Ray and Dockie come in talking about their one and only fish they caught after 2 to 3 hours on the water with ‘nothing‘ to show for it..... They swore they had placed the nice size bass on the dock outside of their boat as they became busy docking. Then they accused us of hiding it to make them look like ‘fish liars’ of all things! Of course the fish got larger and larger as we questioned them. Occasionally I would see Ray shaking his head while saying, “Wonder what happened to our bass?”
No one believed them.....No One.....not even the wonderful trusting wives.

Lo and behold, the next day someone spotted underneath the same dock a half-eaten, nice size fish. Needless to say, that was ’their’ fish!
The joyous vindication was obvious....
Was it real?
Only God knows.....
......as my dear Mamma used to say.....”Even liars tell the truth...some time!”
