Saskatoon welcomes all Vegans...
Reminds me of a story from when the USA still leased Cubi Point from the Phillipines:
Two Air Force wives were shopping for needful things for their quarters off base (Clark Air Force Base), when next to a booth at the local market they saw a puppy tied to one of the posts of the booth by a string...
This excited them! What is a house without a dog, after all? It's one of the all time Americanisms - like TV, a Westinghouse refrigerator with an ice maker, and a barbeque on the back deck! THIS would make their new house a home.
So they asked, and the lady in the booth quoted them a very low price (in Piso's, of course).
"Okay, I will be right back!"
- And she disappeared into the back of the booth with the little dog....
Twenty minutes went by, and the ladies were getting nervous about whether they had been rooked, or forgotten, when the little old Phillipina returned and handed a bag to one of them.
"But where is the puppy?" exclaimed one of the young wives.
"IN BAG! I cut up for you!" said the Phillipina, stating what (to her) was the obvious....
NOTE: This same story got me in very hot water with a Lady I cared about deeply on another message board. I forgot she was a vegetarian...
I swear, at times I have all of the tact and aplomb of a howitzer.
