One Order Of Surprise Cheese

When dining at a particular fast food restaurant, my late mother would always order a “cheeseburger with nothing on it but mayo and pickles”…  and then be surprised when it came with cheese.

We tried our best to convince her that she should ask for a “hamburger” not a cheeseburger, to no avail. After multiple confused exchanges at the counter, she finally took to ordering it as “a cheeseburger, no cheese, nothing on it but mayo and pickles.” Surprisingly, this worked.
