My comment was simply a tease, a prod, and a nod aimed towards the many men on the board who are given to such arts of prevarication. I plead guilty to this malady and find it quite helpful in turning a point in my professional responsibilities. This in contrast to the distaff members of the board who often seem to be better at keeping it real. Maybe it is the result of millennia of fishing and hunting stories. Such is the curse and burden of carrying forward testosterone for the good of the species.
BTW, two buddies had fished together for years. And were given to be quite competitive in recounting their exploits from the streams. One of the two always seemed to get the upper hand in the telling of tales always seeming to catch the bigger fish after the bigger battle. Finally, exasperated the one said the the guy who always seemed to be on the shorter end of things resolved to get the best of the situation. Sitting down next to his buddy at their favorite watering hole. "Well, Dave, I think I, finally, topped you today I caught the big one today. It was this big," as he held his hands about two feet apart. Aww, drolled Dave that ain't so much I just caught a three footer tip to tale up at the lake. To which the first guy replied, "Dave, I meant between the eyes."
