Rhonda and the Sausage King of Chicago PM Day 7

Rhonda and The Sausage King of Chicago

PM- Day 7

September 20,2019 

So, a guy walks into a lighthouse....

Yeah, it started out just like that. Except he was walking up the sidewalk when we spotted him. Mr. Quilter Cook noticed him first and said "Look! A Ferris Bueller tshirt!"

 SAVE FERRIS was across the front. Really, it was TOO EASY, folks. TOO EASY....

*For those of you who are wondering to what I'm referring, please consider checking out the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off from the library.  It's an iconic movie flick from the 80's where a kid does everything in his power to make the most of a day skipped from school. Watch it, then reread the blog.

Ok, so I can hear the rest of you calling out to me in Mr. Lorensax's voice from the movie "FERRIS? FERRIS BUELLER?" Let's get on with my story. 

So, the guy with the tshirt and his wife (?) came strolling up the sidewalk, opens the door and walks into the lighthouse. They wander around a bit looking at displays talking quietly among themselves. When they enter the gift shop, Mr. Quilter Cook nudges me and says don't say it...don't say it. I couldn't resist. It was killing me. Killing me! 

"Please sign our register. It's not everyday we get THE SAUSAGE KING OF  CHICAGO visiting the lighthouse!" I was very excited. Mr. Quilter Cook was very excited-or excited to shut me up, I'm not 

sure. 

It was then, the guy in the tshirt looks at me like a deer in headlights! "WHAT?" he asked. He was obviously CLUELESS! 

"You know, like in the movie? FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF? The Sausage King of Chicago?" 

He just didn't get it. Then, with a strong FRENCH accent, he asks "Who is this Ferris Booler?"

OMG. REALLY? You're wearing THAT TSHIRT and have to ask? (No, I didn't say that out loud.)

So, he signed his name. Yep, from FRANCE. He said he didn't know this Ferris. Was he a sick man? 

Honestly people...I just didn't know WHERE to begin...LOL 

About an hour later I was sweeping sand around outside on the walk trying to look busy and ran across a fun group of people FROM CHICAGO! I told them the story and they about died laughing! 

One guy said that he'd have offered money on the spot for that tshirt! 

******

We have only two more full days here. Sat and Sun. So far, we have had people from Italy, England, South Africa, Australia, Germany, Canada and France besides all the folks from the good 'ole USA. 

I wonder who will walk through our doors tomorrow?  We shall see! 

Think I'm going to read a bit. Ha! Read! Imagine that. 

Lights Out-
