Two ardent fishermen met on their vacation and began swapping stories about the different places they had fished, the kind of tackle used, the best bait, and finally about some of the fish they had caught.
One of them told of a vicious battle he once had with a 230-pound salmon.
The other man listened attentively. He frankly admitted he had never caught anything quite that big. However, he told about the time his hook snagged a lantern from the depths of a lake.

I dialed a number and got the following recording:
"I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call.
I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep.
If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes."
Seen on a sign outside the Clinton Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison in Dannemora, New York:
"The Dannemora fire department reminds you it's fire prevention week. Practice your escape plan."
