Blue Jay Way Puns

Update**** I suggest the NYY Vs TOR Sept 29, 2010 game. It is cito's last game so a bunch of nostalgia comes out. Kinda old meets new game. https://youtu.be/AhmaaATtokQ

This is such a weird story.

My girlfriend and I live near the Skydome, and we decided that we wanted some street meat for dinner, as we'd never eaten at any of the stands around us. I brought along 8 bucks in hopes of getting two sausages.

My girlfriend got a veggie dog at the crazy-cheap stand near Front and John. I got a Polish sausage from the stand on the south-east corner of Front and Blue Jays Way. A nice lady and young man run it (I assume mother and son?). We have some idle chatter about how hot the weather is. Sausage was decent, too.

I've got four bucks left, and I think "I probably shouldn't spend it all in one place". My girlfriend and I are finishing up our respective meats, and I start looking around for round two - and I spot the stand in front of the Rabba's on the south-west corner.

I walk up to it - the sign doesn't have any prices, so I ask the Italian-looking guy: "How much for a sausage?". He looks at me strangely and replies "No. You're already eating one. Just go". I mean, it's understandable. I don't think people usually eat multiple street meats from multiple vendors. So I make my intention clear. "I'm looking to get another, I'm still hungry - how much is a sausage?".

"Where are you from?" he asks. I'm from Toronto, but I'm ethnically Chinese. "I'm from here," I reply. "I'm from Toronto." I make sure to pronounce it "Toronno" to clearly indicate that I have, in fact, been here my whole life. "Go to Spadina", he says. "You can get a big plate in Chinatown for $5".

What the fuck? I try not to interpret this as low-key racism. I just want to get another sausage. I say it in no unclear terms.

"So do you want to sell me a sausage, or no? I've got 4 more bucks, and I'm happy to buy one. I just want to know what your prices are."

"No. Just go".

So that was that. I went back to the stand run by the seemingly-mother-and-son and bought a hot dog. It was just okay, but it hit the spot. I thanked them and tipped them my last dollar.

I'm not too particular about my street meat vendors. I'm looking for:

• a vendor that is willing to sell me food
• a vendor that serves edible food (and ideally, tasty)
• a vendor whose prices are in the region of $3 a hot dog and $4 a sausage, or lower

I never imagined I would've gotten stuck on number 1.
