The Cheeks of a Blue Fish

Why share this? It reminded me of when I was a naive kid just out of Luther College, my brother's former father-in-law told me a tall tale, at a restaurant, about filet mignon. He said, it was "the cheeks of a blue fish", and I believed it. 
He asked me how it tasted.
I said, "It tastes like beef". 
He replied, "well, sometimes the cheeks are so thick, they taste like beef."
"Really?"
"Yes, and sometimes, they've been known to go on land and carry a walking stick." 
At this point, my cousin, at the table, involuntarily spit out his drink.
