The New York Times is providing recession survival hints by interviewing a few old folk about how they got through the Great Depression.
The article is of some interest, but are geese all as tough as this?:
We used to make featherbeds out of chicken feathers and geese, but we’d pick the goose without killing him: all you do is pick him up, yank the feathers off when he was still alive. He don’t mind it. It grows back in two or three months.
The journalists must be city slickers not to realise when someone is pulling their leg.
