searchung for a mile long shaker of salt.

The story:

It was a girlfriends father that we had gotten drunk with on tequila. He was getting mad at me because I wouldn't tell him " a mile long shaker of salt " was the right lyric. I had thought that was what was said when I was a teenager but after losing my own salt in later years , I figured it out.
It turned out her father was easier to get along with than she was, live and learn.
