Today at Costco I was in line to get my usual frozen yogurt Costco treat. An old man was at the window in front of me (old man – he was probably my age . . .)
He handed his half-eaten cup of frozen yogurt to the deli-guy. “Could I get another yogurt?” he asked obviously perturbed.
“Is something the matter with this one?” the deli guy asked, taking the cup and eyeballing it.
“It’s got a big hole in it,” the old man said.
“In the cup?” the deli guy asked?
“No, in the yogurt.” the old man said.
“Sure,” the deli guy said, looking a little puzzled.
Upon receiving his new yogurt, the old man said, “And this one has no holes in it? It is really full?”
“I filled it myself,” the deli-guy said, patiently and respectfully. “There are no holes.”
“How do you know?” the old man asked.
“Because we weigh them. See that scale right by the dispenser?” the deli-guy said.
“Oh,” the old man said, not quite convinced.
Then it was my turn. I gave him my order, ending with: “. . .and one yogurt swirl with no holes, please.”
The deli-guy looked at me incredulously! Then he broke into a big smile and got my yogurt.

That reminds me of a time Dave and I were at Carl's Jr. I was giving my order to the gal at the counter and this older gruff-looking man interrupts and said "do you have any ketchup back there, all you have out here is commi-sauce, I don't want no dang commi-sauce, I didn't fight all those years in Vietnam just to come back here to commi-sauce". (Commi-sauce being the special fri-sauce). The gal behind the counter said she was sorry about that and handed him a pile of ketchup packets. So I rolled my eyes and continued with my order, then Dave said to the gal "and we don't want no commi-sauce either". I sat down at the table and just couldn't stop laughing. Everyone around was giving me weird looks.
