Ok I will.
Scene: Pizza Hut, 9:30pm, Thursday
Cast: Me, my vegtarian wife Nicola, waitress.
me: "Can we have the high-light vegetable supreme but with pepperoni on
half of it?"
waitress: "No, sorry, that's not possible"
Nic: "But you did it last time!"
w: "I can't do that, there's no place for options on that pizza on the
till"
m: "Well can't you just advise the chef, he's only behind that door"
w: "Er, well, you see the high-light is a special calorie controlled
pizza and we can't change it"
N: "We'll take the risk, just put the pepperoni on it would you"
w: "No, we can't."
m: "But you did last week!"
w: "Tell you what, you can have an Edge veg supreme with half pepperoni
and I'll tell the chef to use the high-light mozzarella"
m: "That's the same pizza then... only £1 dearer, and now you've
dropped your objection to the options..."
w: "...because the Edge allows options, yes."
m: "Ok, we'll take the £1 off the tip you were going to get".
