Recent encounter at my local deli:
Me: (signaling my server) Excuse me, this is an egg salad sandwich.
Server: Yes, bon appétit.
Me: But I ordered a chicken salad sandwich.
Sever: Well, egg salad technically is chicken salad.
Me: So, it is. (placing menu on table with picture of monopoly money on the kid's menu) And this is technically money so keep the change. (I walked out without the sandwich. And the picture was of a $50 bill, but I'm a heavy tipper.)
