I keep hearing these commercials on the radio for the Capital Brewery advertising a new beer called Island Wheat. Apparently the wheat for this brew, which is technically a wheat ale, is grown on Washington Island, which is part of Door County. The narrator of the commercial states something to the effect that he was lucky to return from Washington Island with the wheat. This statement baffles me. It's not like it's a particularly arduous journey. A round trip might require an overnight stay, but this is Door County we're talking about, and the hotels in the northern part of the county are rather nice. So why does he feel so lucky to return to Middleton? Did the locals try to drink him under the table at Nelsen's Hall? Did he fear for his life when crossing Death's Door on the Washington Island Ferry? (Maryanne did.) Or is he just a moron?
I really wish I had a sound clip from the ferry line's dorky radio advertisement.

Maybe he was just afraid of the locals period...It's Door County, they're all inbred =)
And yes, I feared for my life crossing Death's Door...it was truely frightening...
Just because I can't swing a cat without hitting someone that's related to me doesn't mean I'm inbred.
Prove it!
