Miscommunication ...

I've worn this button for quite awhile ... I've had positive comments about it, and I've had funny looks offered because of it, but last week I had a first because of it ...

I went into one of the local stores to grab a cup of coffee along the way. The Asian owner looked at my button then said with a glare - "what's your problem with hunters?"

"Pardon?" I replied very confused ...

"Hunters!!" He said quite emphatically, "why don't you like hunters?"

"Um ..." I wasn't sure what he meant and obviously looked very very very confused.

"Your button," he said pointing, "why don't you like hunters?"

"Hunters?" I said as I pulled my button up to look at it ... as I re-read the lettering he did too ...

"OH, Hunger !!" he said relieved, "I thought it said "no hunter" ... I wonder if you're a bit crazy wearing that around here ..." He then smiled and laughed then as he handed me my coffee he added, "you do like hunters don't you?"

"Oh yeah, I don't mind hunters," I said laughing, "and if they offer me some venison once in a while I like them even more."

...and if they offered you venison, they'd be fighting the "no hunger" problem at the same time.
