Farmers Market

Today I went to the Minneapolis Farmer's Market. There are 2 anecdotes from the visit that I will share.

Firstly, as I walked by a counter of potatoes that were being sold by an Asian-looking family, something caught my attention and immediately made me think of ex-vice president Dan Quayle. You could probably guess where this is headed. "Potatoe" was the spelling on every sign that referred to the potatoes there.

Secondly, I saw a little kid less than half my height carrying one of those balloon sculptures, and I had a Superbad moment. I assume it's meant to be a sword, but it looked very much like an object of the phallic type. Probably because both sides of the guard of the sword were circular in shape due to technicalities in creating the balloon sculpture.
