Ya know that look you get when you ask them to hold the mayo

This is the original email that started this blog.
Just so you know.

And now you do.

So,

Kevin wanted to pick up his paycheck from the deli where he works. Mary said if we were in the area, could I bring her something to eat.

I was going to get a sandwich for her at the deli. 

This is how it went.

I went in and the woman asked "What can I get for you?"

Roast beef, lettuce and mustard on rye, please. Said I.

"Do you want me to make you a Hoagie?"

No. No thank you, just roast beef, lettuce and mustard on rye please.

We don't have rye.

What do you have?

Hoagie rolls. Do you want a hoagie?

*sigh* ok. Fine. A hoagie it is then.

Aaannd, what kind of hoagie do you want?

Roast.

Beef.

Lettuce.

Mustard.

No mayo?

No.

No mayo.

Roast.

Beef.

Lettuce.

Mustard.

So, are ya lactose intolerant?

What?

Are ya lactose intolerant? I mean ya don't want mayo on your hoagie.

Mayo is just eggs, oil and lemon juice, there are no dairy products in mayo. 

Well, it is white.
