Mark C. Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I tell my customers this all the time so I thought I'd share it here. Since I sell French butterfishes (butter bells ) I get thousands of questions about how they work-I post a sign over every display and have a user instruction card in each one but still get asked. Sometimes I get tired answering this question so I say just hold one side up to one ear and another side to the other ear and you can hear the atlantic on the left ear and the pacific on the right ear. Try it and you to can hear this little know factoid. This is what happens when dealing with the public after 43 years of shows. Hey one is this weekend my 44th annual local art show.

Marcia Selsor Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 At one of my first fairs in Peoria , Ill. I was near Don Pilcher. He was making huge covered jars at the time. An old man asked him what are they used for? His answer was "marinating fish heads". I guess dealing with the public can make a good story teller!

D.M.Ernst Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 AT a craft fair one year I had ceramic frogs among my other wares. A woman loved them ooed and aahed and then asked, "What do they do?" I paused for a couple seconds and replied, "they collect dust." Wonderful, said she, "I'll take one for me and one for my sister."

What! Like robotic vacuum cleaners?? With a natural appearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
