NOT A LIAR.
A would-be angler of American origin who had devoted weeks to abortive angling in a river for which he was paying a high rent, entered a fishmonger’s shop in Inverness and said to the serving man, “ Here just throw me hjalf a dozen of your finest trout.” “ Why throw them, sir?” said the man in surprise. “ Well,” said the Yank, “ I want to tell my wife I caught them. I may be a bad fisherman, but I’m not a liar!”
