> 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.
