> > For all of you non-fishermen, a De-liar is a little combination scale and measuring tape that is supposed to keep fishermen honest. They are sometimes given to fishermen as a gag gift, but they are really quite useful. After the fisherman weighs and measures the fish he can toss the De-liar back into his tackle box and then go ahead and lie as usual. Isn't that great! > > I just got a great idea! Why not make a De-liar for liars? Scale it down to, say, 75%, so that if you, for example, take a photo of the fish together with it, the fish will seem 33% larger than it actually is. > > Trav"or make downscaled matchboxes and other common comparison items"holt.
I have one of those in my tackle box. It's a fish knife in a wood case and the case has inches on it that are about the size of a centimeter. Works for me. Now I working on quarters the size of dimes to use on eBay. Howard
