Here I was this afternoon, tending bar and running the cash register when a fellow came up to pay for his lunch. He asks me if Busse Combat is a knife. It dawns on me that I am proudly wearing my ball cap for all to see, hey the health inspector demands we wear a hat but she doesn't get a say in what is on it!:p I explained to him a little about the knives and where the shop was. He was on his way out and it was brief, but I did manage to give him the web address. Perhaps we will have another convert to our religion..er..I mean cult. :D He did ask about whether a folder was available. I explained that Jerry was such an innovator, he simply would not put otu a folder unless it broke new ground in the industry. If the guy had an extra minute or two, I would have broke out the Active Duty! I bet I see him again though.

So wear those hats proudly my friends, you never know where you are going to find an collector unfamiliar with Jerry's work.

I just realized that this makes post 1118 for me, the same as my B-Day! Kind of :cool: .
 
Cool story!

Jerry should give us all hats so we can start a conversation and bring more people into the fold! ;)
 
I was wearing my hat when we were in Little Rock the other day. Some guy said in passing "Busse makes a hell of a knife" and gave me the thumbs up. I was a little shocked, just because I don't really have anyone around to share my sickness with. So if you were in Little Rock, AR in McCain Mall 2 weekends ago, and saw a fat dude with a Busse hat, it was me. Come forward and maybe we can get together and talk knives. We can even meet at Fort Thompson and do a little shooting.:D Help! I NEED friends:( :D
 
Gotta love them hats!:cool:

I've had a couple double takes as people walk by but no conversations have been fired up yet;)
 
We need some kind of business card that we can hand out. Of course, they could have our collector club member # on them and if someone buys a knife and uses are # as the "referred by" type thing we get a buck towards a knife or something. Then it would really turn into a "cult" I know a bunch of us would show up at the airport with our card and hats on. "Busse knives for sale. Busse knives saves lives. Here, take a card. Become a Jerry Krishna. All hail the INFI." Yeah, I've lost it.
 
Your Birthday is 18 Nov? My daughter's is on the 18th as well and mine is on the 15th. Funny.
 
Hey Progunner:

I'll send you one of my very rare WASH, RINSE, SANITIZE t-shirts, having a new batch printed up soon. What size are you? The health inspectors get a kick out of them.

The idea of having some cards made up did occur to me James, but I think you took it one step further than I had.

Les, yup 18 Nov 73, Yeah I am a young pup, but I have an old soul. :D

bakerj, I am an XL if they run a little on the big side, XXL if they are a little small. Man do I love the health inspector! :D She is welcome to come by any day of the week. :D I don't know why she only comes once every quarter. :D (Are you guys getting my sarcasm here?)

30 is no big deal man. Just another day under my belt. Hell, I feel like I am 50 some mornings. Bones and joints cracking. It is painful just listening to it.
 
My daughter`s` birthday is November 18 1983. You guys are making me feel old! :(

1973? Heck, I've got whiskers older than you man. I'd had my license about 6 months when you were born.

Bet the hat keeps the complainers away....
 
I had my license for 4 years in 1973! Now I`m really depressed.:( Better go take a nap like us old people do.

John

You guys must live in states that require driver's licenses. . . Ain't Ohio great!!!? We don't even need insurance. . . Hey, wait a minute. . . this could explain my 6 month stay in jail for rolling a stop sign!!!:eek: :eek: :confused:
