Our weirdest was this guy...



...he wouldn't leave until I tossed him some sliced onions and a couple of packets of catsup.

Woody,

We had a “ghoulish cowboy” riding a stick pony walking his kids around. He galloped up to the door and then to the next house. I gave him an Old Style and sent him on his way. My only thought was how long he could keep the galloping up…

I would conservatively estimate that he would get 400 gallops/can of Old Style©. Assuming that no one else on your block was contributing to the delinquency of a ghoulish cowboy I'd guess he made it to the middle of the next block.

Of course if any of his kids slipped him some of their sugary treats he may still be riding off into the sunset.

Every time I see Old Style I think about my trips to Wrigley Field! Being a southern boy, I had never heard of it until venturing to Chicago, and boy is it everywhere in Chicago.

Yeah you're right Wayne. It is all over the place, especially in Wrigleyville.





To their credit The City of Chicago is experimenting with some coin operated devices to curb the problem...





At $1.50/whizz most are taking a pass.
