Morris and Harry 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 Morris comes back from his latest fishing trip, and tells Harry......"
You wouldn't believe, but in da Bahamas I caught a 500 pound herring."

Harry says...." That's nothing, last time I fished in da Bahamas, I pulled
up an old lantern from a sunken Spanish ship....and da candle was still
burning !"

They both looked at each other, knowing that the other was lying.

Finally, Harry said to Morris...." Look Morris, if you take 450 pounds from
off your herring....I'll blow out my candle ! "
