Reminds me of a funny story about a dear friend of mine, as well as to many of us from the NY Pipe Club and beyond, the late Sailorman Jack.
At a NY Pipe Show many years ago, Jack told me the story... he spent many hours at the Wilke Shop in NYC with Gennaro Filosa, who managed the store with Elliot Nachwalter and upon many occasions when a customer would come into the shop he'd approach them and boldly ask, "Would you like to see my penis?", to which a look of both shock and disgust would be returned only to be smoothed over with a bellowing laugh as only Jack could, and by "whipping out" from his signature Navy inspired style jacket,a beautiful leather case which, upon opening, would reveal a beautifully carved meerschaum pipe in the shape of, you guessed it, a penis!
We miss Sailorman Jack dearly!
