My grandfather told me if you put salt on a goose'es tail feathers, you could catch it. I pestered my father until we went to a lake in Orlando and tried it out. I was 6 years old and totally believed my grandfather. My father finally managed to catch a mud duck, where else, but in the mud! I wonder what my father said to my grandfather about that!
