Subject: RE: Folklore: Tour-guide tales. Tall & true
Do tales *about* tour guides count? I read once, somewhere, that a common question asked of park rangers at the Grand Canyon is "What tools did they use?". It seems that many tourists are under the impression that the Grand Canyon is a work of art, either dug out by natives for religious purposes, or commissioned by the New Deal to alleviate unemployment. (No question it would highly effective in either case.)
