So...I'm Looking for an Economy Hooker
Me: A what!?!?!
Hubby: Just go to [name of store on the Island where Hubby gets most of his parts and equipment for the farm from] and tell them you're getting me an Economy Hooker and they'll know what I mean.
Me: Ummm...Okay.
I sauntered into the shop, chatted with the kind folks who work there, and then said, "[insert Hubby's real name here] wanted me to pick up and pay for an Economy Hooker for him".
Laughter.
Owner: I didn't know there was a such thing as an "economy" one! I thought they were all expensive.
Guy1: I've never heard of a husband ASKING his wife to get one for him, let alone PAY for it!
More laughter.
The owner went to the back and returned with the Economy Hooker.
She was not what I was expecting at all.
I learn something new every day on the Island!
An Economy Hooker is an anchor for a boat. Now our boat has an anchor! Yay!

About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

BusyMamma:
It's an anchor for a boat :) We use it when we're out on the lake! Oh, I forgot to tell you! We bought a boat!
A very Toronto-specific joke: Try George Street.
