my father once had this gadget that picked up golf balls. it was a bag with a pipe at one end. slip the pipe over the ball, push and it popped up into the bag.
my friends and i constructed a similar device. we took it to the lake on summer days. when no one was looking, pop – we’d suck up a baby. soon we had a nice stash, but it was useless, since babies aren’t really good for much.
our fun came to an end one day when ray zinky unthinkingly sucked a badger into an almost full bag and...well, that’s enough of this tale.
