FRANKLIN D.R. HORNE:
While I was fishing one time, I caught this fish,
and it was a big fish and it was heavy.
And, while I was trying to get it up into the boat,
it flopped off of the hook and back into the water...
And that bass... I think it was a bass...
weighed eighteen pounds--
TIMOTHY S. KLUGH:
Now,-- Now, how did you know that it was eighteen pounds?
It fell off the boat, right?
FRANKLIN D.R. HORNE:
Well, to tell you the truth, it has scales on its body.
And, that's the truth, and that's the way it is,...
and that's the end of the story.
