I used to go snipe hunting - a joke played on me by older siblings. I was always told that if I were blindfolded and held out a paper bag and made funny noises, the snipe would come jump in my bag. I never caught a snipe, but I did catch a lot of rocks, and consequently -chuckles, that way. FYI, a snipe is a small brown bird... I saw one in the zoo once.
