The Legend of Winnebago Man

I don't know why, but this guy is my spirit animal. Especially at my new job

1. Jack Lemon could have played Winnebago man in a movie ala Glengary Glen Ross!

Glengarry Glen Ross is a 1992 American drama film adapted by David Mamet from his 1984 Pulitzer Prize–winning play Glengarry Glen Ross, and directed by James Foley. The film depicts two days in the lives of four real estate salesmen, and their increasing desperation when the corporate office sends a motivational trainer to threaten them that all but the top two salesmen will be fired within two weeks.

The setting is never explicitly stated. The play is set in Mamet’s hometown Chicago, Illinois, but the film includes numerous references to New York City, including an establishing shot of a New York City Subway platform followed by a close-up shot of a New York Telephone-branded payphone, NYPD police cars and insignia, New York license plates, and mostly New York accents.[3][4] Film critics and journalists have nonetheless placed the setting in Chicago, possibly based on their familiarity with the original play.[5][6] Exterior shots were filmed on location in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.[7]

Like the play, the film is notorious for its use of profanity, leading the cast to refer to the film jokingly as "Death of a Fuckin' Salesman".[8] The title of the film comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters: Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms.

2. That would have been great

I watched the documentary about the Winnebago man and its interesting. But that would have been great since Jack Lemon was always great.

5. Working in heat can be very frustrating

My mood during the summer is awful compared to cooler months

6. Been there, done that...

Glad I'm retired now that it's too hot almost everywhere in the summer.
