I saw a rerun of an interview (1972) of Alfred Hitchcock by Dick Cavett. During the program Sir Alfred defined a Mcguffin as, paraphrased, "an object to build a movie plot around that is not clearly explained." He told a story of an encounter between an Englishman and a Scotsman on a train where a suitcase was pointed out and its contents came into question. The Scotsman answer was it contained a Mcguffin, "a device to catch lion's on the Highlands of Scotland." Googling the intriguing trapping device, led to the Clan MacGuffin of the movie, "Brave." (a Pixar animation) I am yet to find any other information on my original question. I hope that any of you will provide the relief to my itch in case I am in need of such a device. Thank you. ps. am looking for a Jabberwock trap also.

There's a jar of elbow grease next to the "prop wash" on the second shelf of the aircraft maintenance hanger. (It may be labeled Rotor Wash)
