MORE BUCKS ON THE WALL

Ron Abler writes: "I live in Southern Maryland, and there
is a restaurant called The Roost in a nearby town named
Lexington Park. The original owner of The Roost had
served as a pilot in the Berlin Airlift before opening his
establishment. Apparently, many of his war buddies visited
the restaurant, and they honored a custom of many WW II
veterans by leaving "buck snorts" as calling cards. Buck
snorts are one-dollar bills autographed by the presenter.
To this day, the wall behind the bar of the Roost is
plastered with buck snorts, including several square feet
of them that were blackened by smoke from a kitchen fire
long ago. I don't know if this has anything to do with the
dollar-plastered walls of the Mar Vista restaurant in Florida."

[Perhaps there are other establishments out there that
honor this tradition. But before rushing to The Roost,
note the following item I located on the web - the place
was involved in hepatitis litigation. -Editor
