Would You Believe It

Len was boring his listeners with his story about a snapper he'd once caught.

"Would you believe it took me seven hours to land him, and he went on the scales at 200 Ib." Alf had had enough.

"Did I ever tell you about the time I was fishing over the wreck of an old sailing ship? I pulled up a ship's lantern nearly 200 years old, and would you believe the candle in it was still alight."

"That's ridiculous," protested Len. "Fancy expecting us to believe that."

"Well," replied Alf, "I'll tell you what we'll do. You take 180 Ib off your snapper, and I'll blow out my candle."
