Order Up!
Published Apr 20, 2011
My Italian American friend is very self-conscious about his height, or lack thereof. So I always steer clear of the subject.
One day, he and I went to lunch at a Sub shop.
"I'll take the Italian," he said to the guy behind the counter. "Salami, Provolone, and peppers."
"Do you want a full hero or half one?" came the reply.
"Ah... gimme a half," my friend says.
After placing our orders, we took our seats. A few minutes later, my friend grimaced when we heard...
"Small Italian, your order is up!"
