Blanche: Go on, Rose.
Rose: Anyway, without a job Pigpen started feeling useless, so the town fathers thought they'd give him a new job - putting up the "Welcome to St. Olaf" sign out on Miller's Lane.
Blanche: Rose, is there a point to this story?
Rose: Yes! That same year on Founders' Day, the governor was coming, and Pigpen forgot to put up the sign. The governor drove straight through town without ever realizing he was in St. Olaf.
Dorothy: I would have thought the glazed look on everyone's face would have tipped him off.
Blanche: So the point is Pigpen ruined Founders' Day all because he was wasting time?
Rose: That's right, and the town fathers took down his picture. It had always hung in the St. Olaf auto shop, right next to Andy Granatelli. My mother used to date him. You know what he has under that trench coat?
Dorothy: A wrench?
Rose: That's what Mother called it.
