Laugh About It Interviews Aun DeGauche, Owner of Dufferin’s Newest Store Leftie’s!
Hello Mr. DeGauche. So your store is called Leftie’s. Tell us a bit about it.
It’s a great new concept. We sell left-footed shoes!
That’s clever. I assume the right-footed shoe is included right?
No. Why would it be?
Um, well, because most people have two feet.
See that’s my point! Left-handed people are always left out!
Excuse the pun.
What pun?
Nevermind. So you wanted to create a store that was tailored to left-handed people correct?
Exactly.
But what I’m saying is that even left-handed people have a right foot.
Are you trying to start something here?!
No. Not at all. I’m just trying to understand your new store.
It’s simple. We sell left-footed shoes, and only left-footed shoes for all the left-handed people who are forced to buy both and then just throw one out.
But, um… I guess what I’m trying to get at is that, well, um, won’t that leave left-handed people wearing only one shoe?
If they want two shoes we can sell them two.
But they would both be left-footed shoes.
Now you’re getting it!
I don’t believe I am. OK. Let’s say a left-handed person wants to buy a pair of gloves/
We sell those too!
Gloves?
Well, left-handed gloves anyway.
But who would want to wear a glove on their left hand only?
Left-handed people! Aren’t you listening?
But wouldn’t their right hand get cold?
Then they can go to a store that sells right-handed gloves, can’t they?
But there is no store. Every store that sells gloves sells both a right and a left glove. Same goes for shoes.
You just keep making my point for me! Why hasn’t anybody created a store that caters to left-handed people like I have? It’s brilliant!
OK, I’m just going to go with your expertise in the matter and wish you great success in your new venture. So where can people find your store?
On Broadway in Orangeville.
Where on Broadway?
On the left.
OK, I’m done here!


Lots of people like hot chocolate. There is something comforting about a steaming mug of sugary cocoa that brings back fond memories and makes you feel good. But what if you wanted some other hot beverage on a cold winter day? Sure there’s always coffee or tea, but what if you want something rich and creamy like hot chocolate, but without the chocolate? Here at Laugh About It we tried hundreds of alternative recipes and here are some of our favourites. Enjoy these hot drinks after a frosty day playing in the snow.

Dufferin Schools Celebrate the Fourth Annual
Take Your Frog To School Day!
It’s here again. Take Your Frog To School Day is back for a fourth year. Each February a special day of the month is chosen when children in school are allowed to bring their very own pet frogs to class for the whole day! So far not one kid has ever brought a frog to school, but that hasn’t deterred Mr. Sumdae, the creator of the event. “When I was a kid,” says Sumdae, “I loved my pet frog, but I never got to bring him to school, not even for show and tell! I wanted today’s kids to have the opportunity that I didn’t get.” When
we asked Mr. Sumdae why he insists on organizing the day even when no child has ever taken advantage, he responded, “It’s true we haven’t had a great response so far, but I feel like this is the year! Come on,” he said, “what kid doesn’t like frogs?” Um, almost all of them apparently.

We’ve all noticed that the quality of some of our favorite food products has decreased in recent years. Many companies started making their products with fewer and lower quality ingredients hoping people would keep buying anyway. It turns out that some companies must have learned that consumers are a bit more discerning, and have begun to return to their old recipes. But what if you’ve already given up on an old product you once enjoyed? How do you know that the company has gone back to an older formula? Here at Laugh About It we have some slogans to offer companies that will help them tell their customers that they have gone back to what people once liked and actually bought.
“100% BETTER THAN IT’S BEEN FOR A YEAR!”
“NEW AND IMPROVED TO TASTE LIKE OUR OLD PRODUCT!”
“SORRY WE WERE AWFUL FOR A WHILE, BUT WE LISTENED TO OUR FINANCIAL ADVISERS AND WENT BACK TO THE TASTE YOU USED TO BUY!”
“OOPS! WE THOUGHT WE COULD GET AWAY WITH TASTING WORSE.”
“PLEASE IGNORE THE LOUSY STUFF WE’VE BEEN SELLING FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. WE’RE BACK!”
“IT’S STILL A LOT LESS FOR MORE MONEY, BUT AT LEAST IT TASTES LIKE IT USED TO!”
“TURNS OUT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SMARTER THAN WE THOUGHT. OUR BAD!”
