Purveyors of Fine Brand Loyalty Since 2004
I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.

E, you little snippet. :)
For the record - look closely - I'm holding rolled-up yellow crepe paper that had been decorating the place. D got bored and reminisced about her old stoner days and started rolling dummy blunts. My clumsy handling of said blunts inspired James to give me some lessons in case I ever decide to inhale. Hold it close to the end so you don't burn your fingers (index and thumb) but don't pinch it because that will cut off the oxygen and the cherry will go out. Good to know.
