"The Bog"

I am spending this week with my family at the Jellystone Resort in Warrens, WI. After some morning mini-golf today, which was a disaster for me, we began driving in search for a place to eat lunch.

the first place we came across was called "The Bog." That should have been our first clue, but since the sign also said "Casual Fine Dining,"we thought we should give it a try. As we pulled into the parking lot, it became apparent that the place was under construction. Several large pieces of machinery were scattered around the premises and there was dirt everywhere.

I walked in ahead of everybody else in order to use the restroom. I was overcome by the sound of an electric saw and the smell of sawdust as soon as I walked through the door. As I approached the bathroom door, I heard one employee say to another, "Tell him not to flush the toilet." I stopped dead in my tracks, unsure if I was the "him" she was referring to. I was not prepared for what happened next.

An older gentleman, probably the owner of the restaurant, then turned to me and said, "Oh yeah, don't flush the toilet 'cause the pipes are open outside and the poor guys out there will get a face-full if you do." I was not sure how to handle this, so I just said "Ok" and walked into the restroom.

I thought about flushing just because they told me not to. I mean let's be honest, has anyone ever told you NOT to flush? No. In fact, most parents have to stress flushing to their children. It was just downright hilarious. To make a long story short, we ended up not eating at "The Bog" because of the saw that was being used in a corner of he restaurant (yes, there was a saw INSIDE the place!). Instead we enjoyed a nice, quiet meal at Perkins in a nearby town.

"Don't flush," haha.
