That gets said a lot but I wonder if anybody can name just one ham that

O' course without the cards there's no proof and some ol' fart growling

worked is a few Central American countries (and maybe France) seems to
be the norm for such claims.
People who don't chase the carrot aren't going to stumble on it by
accident - certainly not with an attitude.
