Would you like a double-yolk with that?

Unbelievable dithering at the sandwich shop just now. Bloke at the front of a long queue was having chicken and avocado in a white baguette. I was next in line. When asked whether he wanted salad, his response was to stroke his chin, let out a long “hmmmmmm”, and then say “maybe lettuce and tomato… no, perhaps not… what do you think…”? The foreign serving lady, whose English is not great at the best of times, looked back at him in total bafflement. And I’m not surprised. This man is clearly some sort of double–yoker. People get shot in New York for less.
