Becasse is Frenchie for "woodcock"--them smelly snail-eaters love guts and nuts of wild game served on toast points, snails, frog legs, tripe, sweetbreads (brains) and tongue-- If my grouse dawg won't pick up a dead woodcock and retrieve it like he might a Sir Ruff- then I ain't wastin' any powder on shot on them long billed "bog suckers"-- La Sorda-- Tommy- Italian National league Baseball mgr- (LA Dodgers)don't think he's a shotgun man however-

"The field is the touchstone of the man"..
