	Never salted a slug (they're salty aready, they taste better with
mayo, anyway), BUT......

	The homestead back in 'joisey had a stone wall which subbed as a
slug condo.  We had to figure out a solution to this pest problem as the
dog was getting neurotic from have the slugs crawl on him at night (just
think about that!  curls your toes, don't it?).  Also the slime was a b*tch
to get off of him.  Well, being simple folk, we found that a 2x4 worked
rather satisfactorily.  Problem was, we could stay up all hours wait for
our pals to slide on by.  So, I read somewhere about slugs liking beer.
So the next night we left a pan of beer out, away from the dog (he'd
drink it).  Next morning, Lo and Behold!, a pan full of dead, drunk slugs.
It was SO disgusting looking, we took the dog into the basement at night
and let the buggers have the backyard.

	Slugs are a curse from god because of some past transgression of
mankind.  Only he could have the power and wisdom to create some creature so
grotesque as to gross out whole species of life on this planet. (Altho.
man has tried to simulate this behavior, e.g. Boy George, Cyndi Lauper,
Divine,.....)

	Aren't you glad you asked?   Aren't you hunger?

"Now eat all your food junior, or you'll be reborn as a slug
and someone will come along and pound you with a 2x4....."
