LOLOL--You sound like someone who can spin a tale at the drop of a hat and
keep it going. A true gift. I always liked to tell the kids (high school and
middle school) tales when I took them to backcountry--one of my favorites was
to take a Power Bar, or similar granola bar, pull bits off it and roll them
up kind of elongated and pointed at the end and lay them on the trail. Then
we would "happen" upon them with the group of kids. I would point out that
we had just stumbled on the feces of a rare owl, and you could identify that
owl by tasting the feces, which I would do. The looks on their faces has
always been memorable. LOL And especially when I give them the opportunity
to taste them.
