Buns (The Toasted Kind)

Yes, these kind of buns.

I thought I would share a funny story about buns for the letter B.

Back when my husband and I were engaged, we worked on a farm together for a couple of weeks while he was visiting me at my parents' house.  More specifically, we worked at an apple orchard during "Fall Festival"--an extremely busy weekend farm event in October where people buy apples, cider, pumpkins, hayrides, games, pony rides, etc...

Our job was to run a hot dog stand together.  Sounds innocent enough, right?  My then-fiance was in his element, grilling hot dogs to perfection for our line of customers, while I took the money.

But he didn't only grill hot dogs.  He asked every single customer if they wanted their buns toasted, and he would throw a hot dog bun on the grill if they said yes.  I was beyond embarrassed.  Some customers didn't get it--they responded with a polite "No thanks" or "Yes please."  Other customers laughed, and I wanted to sink into the ground from embarrassment.  He knew exactly what he was doing too--this was well after his conversion from vanilla to reluctant spanko.

Thankfully, I didn't know any of our customers, and we don't live there anymore.  In the future, though, I will try to avoid running a hot dog stand with my husband.

  1. That's pretty cute :-) If I had been in his shoes I think I'd have done the same!

    1. Haha, I can only imagine the innuendos if you had been working in the stand as well.

  2. LoL, I think I also would have felt embarrassed, even more so, if only one customer had this knowledgeable look of complete understanding :)

    1. I couldn't make eye contact with anyone long enough to figure out if they *did* completely understand. I'm sure they had a good laugh about it later with their significant others if they did understand!

  3. There was one person who understood and was less than shy about the joke. Additionally, I didn't see any reason to be embarrassed- those most likely to understand would get a kick and those who didn't understand would simply get their bread toasted. I'd definitely do it again! :-)
