We're fine, Kate. VW and Nutty had gotten tickets for the wrong trolley, but then VW couldn't make it either. So Nutty got your ticket, and sold off the two extras she'd bought. I think. In any case, it all worked out.
By the way, thanks to everyone for coming on the tour. I agree with Nora that it's not the best way to really get a good look at the houses, but it's fun to go as a group, you help support the Arts Council, you learn stuff and hopefully I point out a few things you might not have otherwise noticed. It serves as a nice introduction. That's why we give out the maps -- so you can go back and get a better look at your favorites.
I'm glad a couple of people got my Bronski Beat joke. When I told the same joke on the second tour (where no one I knew was on board), I could hear crickets.
At least it wasn't thirty years old.

Ha! He didn't tell that joke on the second tour. Said (good-naturedly) that he didn't want me giving him crap about it again.
For those who weren't there, before the trolley driver introduced me (the tour guide), he told a joke involving Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, a priest and a hippie. When he handed the mic to me, I told the passengers that I couldn't promise my jokes would be as funny, but at least they wouldn't be thirty years old.

Absolutely- and it was fun to go as a group. I didn't mean to sound negative about it, at all. Jon, you rocked as a tour guide, and I'd love to do it again.
The Bronksi Beat joke almost killed me.
Followed closely by the
...ehm...
blonde joke.
ermm.... I don't remember any blonde jokes....
"How many blonde actuaries does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"
I'm just guessing.
