What's so funny about a sausagefest?

I'm editing this for the Indianapolis Star, and it's so good I thought I'd share it with the rest of you. Enjoy! :D

John Juerling learned one thing as chairman of the first St. Thomas Aquinas Sausagefest: The event’s name may have to change.
Organizers wondered why thieves walked off with about 25 signs promoting the festival that takes place today and Saturday on parish grounds at the corner of 46th and Illinois streets.
When the first 4-by-14-foot banner vanished, Juerling moved the other large banner to a higher spot just to be safe. It was stolen, too.
Next, small yard signs in the neighborhood were appropri-
ated.
Eventually, the committee realized that the name must have another meaning and that people were taking them the signs for laughs.
SignCo, the Indianapolis firm that made the banners, re-placed them at no cost, and the those new ones are posted on school and parish hall walls where no one can reach them without a ladder, Juerling said.
Folks who show up at the fest can feast on homemade brats and sausages from Klemm’s German Sausage & Meats, and music, beer, cotton candy dancing and other diversions are also on tap.

I think this entire post can be countered with, "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" I said it — AKS
