Yes, it is.

A tall story is one which you can not believe even if you want to.

Tall order or tall story Tue May 10, 2005 19:52 pm  Tall order or tall story		  
Hello Mr Krishnaswamy! Thank you for your answer. So are these two idioms? I mean a tall order and a tall story? Does this mean if somebody tells me a tall story I should not believe him? Thank you again. Your help is good.
