Sea stories and Faerie tales

[Tractorat]

With veterans day coming up it occurred to me that those of you who have never been in the military might not know the difference between a "sea story" and a "faerie tale". It will be my honor to enlighten you. :-laf

A "Faerie Tale" begins: "Once upon a time"

A "Sea Story" begins: "This ain't no shlt". :-laf

I hope that clears things up for you.

What would you call a tall tale that begins: "If elected, I promise to..."?
