Biggest Story Teller

[larryours]

Two old Gentleman were at a country store, sitting around a pot belly wood/coal stove talking. Each had been known to tell some "Good Ones". The first one said he had been picking huckleberries on the "Plains " on Dolly Sods, when a big black bear started chasing him, he said he ran and ran, the bear getting closer, he ran down one mountain, up another, around the mountain and back again, he said the bear almost got him but when he was crossing the Black Water river, the bear broke through the ice, slipped under and drown. The other old guy said " I got you, thats the biggest @*$%^ lie I ever heard, picking huckleberries and then ice on the Blackwater River! The story teller, never cracked a smile, spit some tobacco juice into the ash bucket and said " that #%@* bear chased me clear up into January!"

The other old guy said he was out squirrel hunting and he sit down on a log to eat his lunch, he had an apple, and he took out his knife and started to peel it when he started smelling snake, he jabbed his knife down into the log he was sitting on to get up and look for the snake, not finding any he came back, but the" log" was gone, he looked down the hill and saw his pocket knife going back aforth through the brush

Good ones Larry! I think I know those two ole codgers. That first one said the reason he got away from that bear was he was running on a dry path and the bear was running on a slick one.
They got to bragging about fishing and the first one said he thought he had a snag on the South Branch but when he pulled it in it was a coleman lantern and it was still burning. the other ole fellow, not to be outdone, said he was fishing dry flies on the Blackwater and hooked a 48" native rainbow. Said it was so big he had to back it up into Beaver Creek to turn it around and get it landed. First guy said, tell you what, you take two feet off that fish and Ill blow the flame out on that lantern.
