"We eat the flesh of the cow..."

The most notorious of hundreds of gangs, or maras, is the Mara Salvatrucha, named for its Salvadorean founders who claimed to be as wise as a trout.

Is there some extensive Central American folklore about the wily trout and its Brer-Rabbit-esque escapes from dim-witted predators that I'm simply ignorant of or is The Economist having me on?

Alas, I sacked the trout and hired a crayfish.

One never can tell with The Economist, can one...?
