This is a really great idea for a thread, IMO likely scuppered by being so peculiar that I’d be impressed if even two more people were able to come up with any further examples. I certainly can’t. So, like **Snowboarder Bo** I will guess another wrong answer… **Top Gun**. ---

In a particular autobiography, the author states that he discovered that if you feed a piece of beef fat to a duck, it just goes right through them, so he tied a string to a piece of fat, fed it to a duck, then another duck, then another, and when he had about five or six ducks on the string, he tied the ends together. Anyone remember that book? ---
