You know what must be weird?

I'll retell a story I've already told.

I served my mission in [Oregon,] Italy. I was first a senior companion in Cagliari, on the south coast of the island of Sardinia. Six elders lived in an apartment near to a small pizza restaurant, where we would occasionally eat. One day, after talking with my companion about Hawaiian pizzas, I took a small can of crushed pineapple to the pizza restaurant and asked that they make a pizza with ham on it (not that unusual), and also put the pineapples on it. They asked me a half-dozen questions to make sure they understood what I wanted, then sort of held their breath [said they were legally obligated to serve any request made of them, even if they found it distasteful] while they took my money and made the pizza. When it was done, literally the whole staff came to watch it get pulled out of the oven. I asked if anyone wanted a taste, but they all said, "Oh, no, that's okay, we're good. [It would be cultural appropriation for us to do so.]" And yes, it was absolutely delicious, the perfect marriage of authentic Italian pizza perfection and sweet American irreverence.

I made a few modifications for you.

And you're not a lawyer?

I thought you were in some technical type profession.

Then you've got a pretty good memory of your college days.

Back in France, we used to eat pizza with a poached egg in the middle! And we would use a fork and a knife to do it too!

Delicious.  I ate three of these things on "slump day"

That sounds soooo good.

I live in Ogden. Ogden has weird hipster pizza joints. Assistant Principal likes to order weird hipster pizza for the staff now and then.

One way to make the cafeteria seem gourmet?

Somewhere in the ISO book is the protocol that any programmer is not allowed to correct another programmer without taking ownership of the code.
