This guy needs a job and decides to apply at the zoo. As it happened, their star attraction, a gorilla, had passed away the night before and they had carefully preserved his hide. They tell this guy that they'll pay him well if he would dress up in the gorillas skin and pretend to be the gorilla so people will keep coming to the zoo. Well, the guy has his doubts, but Hey! He needs the money, so he puts on the skin and goes out into the cage. The people all cheer to see him. He plays up to the audience and they just eat it up. This isn't so bad, he thinks, and he starts really putting on a show, jumping around, beating his chest and roaring, swinging around. During one acrobatic attempt, though, he loses his balance and crashes through some safety netting, landing square in the middle of the lion cage! As he lies there stunned, the lion roars. He's terrified and starts screaming, "Help, Help, Help!" The lion races over to him, places his paws on his chest and hisses, "Shut up or we'll BOTH lose our jobs!"
Ah, September, a glorious month. The little ones are back to school, football and hockey are starting up, the days are not so hot, and our newsletter is back! It has been a busy summer here. We’ve made lots of improvements around the store. We’ve moved older products off the shelf to make way for the latest and greatest stuff from all over North America. Our website has been given a fresh new look, a ‘facelift’ if you will.. However, none of the employees here were treated to any facelifts, sorry to disappoint you. Our sample walls have been cleaned and painted. A new third, sliding sample wall has been built, and all the samples have been cleaned & updated. The left sample wall, closest to the window, now only has Spectrum on it, in clearly marked categories to help you find what you are looking for faster. We have 2 new fusing classes to offer, in addition to our regular line-up of stained glass courses.
We are back to our regular store hours, 9:30am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday, and 9:30am to 4:30pm on Saturdays.
