The Way the Stick Floats!

I'm so excited! Friday night while we were at some friends' house, I discovered the title for my speech: The Way the Stick Floats. They had just purchased a couple of antique finished statues of mountain men. The artist had carved the inscription on one of the mountain men. I'd never heard the saying before so when we got home, I googled it. Trappers used to tie a stick on their beaver traps. If a beaver swam off with the trap, the trapper knew where it was because of the floating stick. The phrase identifies someone who knows what's up, what's what. It's the perfect title and I'm over the top!
