This Cheese Has Been Around
(I’ve been helping this customer for about two minutes.)
Me: “Can I get you anything else?”
Customer: “Yes, give me half a pound of the philandering cheese.”
Me: “I’m sorry?”
Customer: “The philandering cheese!”
Me: “Uh, which one?”
Customer: “The philandering Swiss cheese!”
(She points at the wall behind the counter where we display the cheeses. I turn around and immediately realize which cheese she means.)
Me: “Oh, Finlandia Swiss!”
Customer: “That’s what I said! Philandering Swiss!”
