I went to school at RPI, and the cruddy little town it's in has (well, had...I think they closed down) a little "locally famous" pork store.


They sold t-shirts that said,
"I got mine at the Troy Pork Store!"

But do they sell pork swords?

Ive driven by that a bunch of times in KC, it has to be intentional because the name Clint was verboten in comics for a long time just because of that reason.

A Clint's Comic's store is in my city, I've seen its sign umpteen times, and I've never once thought of that. Now I always will.

Also "store" (pronounced "sto-ray") is an old mid-west word for uncle. So that place is basically called "gently caress your uncle".

On time I sold Cutco and I was at this womans house trying to get her to buy. I had the knives out on her kitchen table and her little kid came along and grabbed the butcher knife by the handle. We both jumped and I snatched the knife back by the blade. Cut my had pretty good, but it was a clean cut cause you know, Cutco.
