When I said to the waitress "What kind of crabs do you have?"


I had 45 minutes to kill in Logan, and wanted a beer and some dinner after a frustrating day of trying not to yell at the contractor for not meeting spec.

I ordered my beer, and said to the waitress "Given I'm in Boston, I'll have the crabcakes."
Then I said, mostly to my cow-orker, "Although I ought to be in Baltimore to be saying that".
The waitress replied "Oh, but we have different kinds of crabs than in Baltimore".

This reminds me of when easy_living first arrived in this country. The next morning, we were having brunch with my son and my former mother-in-law. (My theory was that if easy_living survived that, she'd survive anything!) My son and easy_living got into a discussion of the kinds of food typical for this area. At one point, my son asked easy_living, "Have you ever had crabs?" My son thought he was asking about seafood. easy_living thought it was an awfully personal question for a first meeting.
