“What would you like?” asked the waitress.
“A such-and-such sandwich. Please make sure there are no onions,” I answered.
“And what would you like?” she asked my husband.
“A such-and-such sandwich. And no onions please,” he answered.
“Would you like an appetizer?” she asked.
“Onion rings,” we responded jointly.

“What?” I asked our friends.
“Oh. No onions but onion rings. Yeah, we don’t quite understand that either,” I answered with a smile.
