Joe and Bob were both fanatics about deep-sea fishing.
Each would come back from fishing trips and tell the other big lies about the number and sizes of the fish they caught.
So Bob comes back from his latest fishing trip, and tells Joe…
“You wouldn’t believe, but in the Bahamas I caught a 500-pound herring.”
Joe says….” That’s nothing, last time I fished in the Bahamas, I pulled up an old lantern from a sunken American ship…. and the candle was still burning !”
They both looked at each other, knowing that the other was lying.
Finally, Joe said to Bob, “Look, Bob, if you take 450 pounds from off your herring…. I’ll blow out my candle!”
