An
URBAN LEGEND has sprung up about the "Pipe Dream" Animusic video. Farm machinery, the Smithsonian, too funny!
It always gives me a giggle to think how gullible some people are. And it amazes me how easily such a story can be started.
When I worked in Waterton National Park, we got a real kick out of the tourists and some of the ridiculous ideas they had. Like the lady that was telling her son that bear bells were to
attract the bears so they would come close enough that you could feed them. I didn't play around with that one because I wasn't quite sure she wouldn't tie a steak around the kids neck just to get a good picture.
The best was when a man from Boston came in and asked me what we did the animals in the winter. I was speechless. The manager was a quick-witted, sharp-tongued woman who loved to mess with people. She told him the mountain goats and deer went to a farm, the bear, cougar and wolves went to the zoo and the birds migrated, of course. He looked pleased, turned to go, stopped and asked, "What about the fish?"

She didn't miss a beat as she replied, "Don't you know that the fish in Canada grow fur in the winter?" The poor man went and told the group he was with exactly what she told him. I sure hope there was
someone in the group that was smart enough to realize they had been told a whopper.

Sorry, not sure where all that came from. I hadn't thought about in years.
