I embarrass my wife by periodically deciding to cowboy up and accompany her to one of her endless artsy-fartsy dinner parties. I typically have a few whiskeys and goof on the other attendees.
A friend of hers scheduled a private party at the winery. We keep bird netting in big plastic bags at the end of each row of grapes. They stay there so that as soon as fruit set starts we can quickly pull them out and clip them over the vines before the Bird Information Network broadcasts the availability of free tasty grapes. People are always asking what's in the bags. One woman asked me and I said "those are badger traps". She said oh my goodness I didn't know there were badgers here. How do they work? I said "well, the badger is a curious beast, and sees the bag and figures there must be something worth hiding in there. He climbs up the support and gets into the bag. Once he's in there he can't figure out how to get out, not being all that smart. "Are there any in there NOW?" she asked.
Well ma'am I said, I haven't checked in about a week, want to go out with me and have a look see?
