i have two.
this first story was relayed to me by a friend of mine who is
a cashier at the fresh pond bread and circus (her name's lynn,
so if you shop there, get in her line and tell her i sent you!)
anyway, one day a veg. mom and her 2 veg. kids were in her line
and behind them was a man who was buying mussels. the 2 kids,
being veg. their whole lives and not having lost any of their
innocence toward animal life, asked the man,
"whatchya gonna do with those, mister? set 'em free? do you have
a pond you're gonna put them in?"
i bet he had to think twice before he ate those...
ok, story #2:
i wear a beaded necklace i made myself that says in large letters
"vegan." i was at work one day (i work at a student-run coffeehouse
here on campus) when the woman in charge of the student center
came down to get some coffee. her name's marilyn--she's really
nice, if a bit kooky (and they call US kooks, wait'll you hear
this!)
she saw my necklace and said, "oh you're vegan? that's great.
you know, i'm trying to be vegan."
to this, i of course expressed interest. she replied,
"yes, if i could only give up TURKEY and BACON."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just kind of funny.
