Ayy shit, I come from a island hamlet where we catched live hares and sold them off. The islanders often told outsiders that "To catch a hare, one must sneak up behind it and stray some salt on its tail, after which one can simply grab it".

I guess it makes sense to see this joke in the wild, but it never occurred to me that we weren't the only ones using it.

Haha, wow. I was definitely from Arkansas so about as far from an island anyone is living on so yea it's wild to think about how far it's gone.
