Grandad’s Big Fish

First thing this morning I got a call to say Pegasus had broken her mooring and was drifting up the river… just what I needed with a NE wind howling outside. However, I got her back within the hour and thanks to all those who called and assisted… actually, I got about ten calls!
Getting back to Grandad…
Fishing was his thing and as a kid I loved to listen to all his stories…

One day he caught a fish so big…
When he opened the fish he found another fish inside…swallowed whole.
When he opened that fish… (you guessed it)
He found another fish swallowed whole.
When he opened that fish he discovered…
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

He told me great stories about the time he was in Dawson City Alaska living in a tented village mining the Klondike for gold in 1897.
One night he and his partner Joe found themselves in the final
of a competition to find out who could tell the best lie.
Joe was first to go so he stood up and said…
I’m the strongest man here…
I’m so strong I once swam up Niagara Falls!
Grandad was declared the winner when he stood up and said, “and that’s the truth…
because I was there”
Jean is worried that if I don’t get out fishing soon I could become a liar too.
…and my good friend Frank Loftus says…
All fishermen are liars except you and I
and now I’m beginning to wonder about you!
P.S. The prize Grandad won for the best lie in the Klondike is sitting on my desk right now. It is a solid gold cast of…

Have a nice day!
