"Like I said last time ma'am, we don't have any broccoli right now and won't have any until next week."

The stockboy says: "Look ma'am, can you spell 'cat' as in catfish"?
- Woman: Sure, C-A-T.
- Stockboy: And can you spell 'dog', as in dogwood?
- Woman: Of course, D-O-G.
- Stockboy: So, can you spell 'fuck', as in broccoli?
- Woman (perplexed): But there isn't any 'fuck' in broccoli!
- Stockboy: That's what I've been trying to tell you. There ain't no fucking broccoli.
