“You heard of Vito’s Pub? It didn’t used to be (a gay bar), it used to be a great bar. I hung out there myself. One night, Vito let’s a gay group hold a meeting in the back room, right? Gays for the Metric System or something. Story gets in the newspaper, gets a lot of attention, next thing you know Vito’s Pub turns into Vito’s Pub. All the regulars left.. Out went the oars and the moose heads. In came plants and ferns. Ferns…” ~ Norm
