That is hilarious, Richard. I heard the guys talk about snipe
hunting, but because they were also goose and duck hunters, I thought
they were talking about a specific bird. I was pretty naive as a
young girl.

As to the drive in the country, I grew up in Texas City and we were
encouraged to take a drive out on the dike to watch the "submarine
races." However naive, I didn't fall for that one.
