Kelvin Halferson just got back from a fishing trip up at Kentucky Lake. He was down at the barbershop this morning telling fish stories. He claimed he caught a forty pound fish. When Billy Dumfound asked him what kind of fish, Kelvin said, "It warn't like no fish I ever seen." To prove his tale he produced a picture showing a man standing by a lake with a huge fish hanging beside him. Several questions came forth from the crowd.
"How did you grow that beard so fast?"
"When did the Rocky Mountains move to Kentucky"
"When did you become a Seattle Seahawks fan?"
"Did you lose fifty pounds overnight?"
"Do you expect us to believe this?"
There was a pause but we all knew what was coming. "That's my story and I'm sticking to it."
