... Traveled once with a fellow from the backwoods of North Carolina. We were training him out of our Fort Wayne, IN GHQ to sign up hardware dealers to our co-op when he got back to his NC territory.
Several times when we went out to dinner the wait staff would bring him a glass of Asti Spumanti wine soon after we had ordered our drinks.
He got all upset and told the waiter or waitress who had made the error as he said, then spelled out, "I ordered asti .... as in (as he spelled out) Iced Tea, not Asti Spumanti wine." We never let him oder for himself after that. We still laugh about that.
