Sigh

Conversation I just had with Ralph:

BACKGROUND: We had talked earlier about grilling the hamburger meat that is currently in the fridge, to have for dinner tonight.

Ralph: I'm going to go run an errand. Do you want me to cook before I go?
Me: I dunno. I had a burger for dinner last night; I know we should eat the hamburger before it spoils but it just doesn't sound good.
Ralph: Do you want me to pick up burgers or something while I'm out?
Me: (blank stare)
Ralph: (light dawns) Ah, burgers, hamburger, ha ha . . . a little joke there. . .

Actually, what *does* sound good is the Japanese/Chinese/Mongolian BBQ/American buffet up on Cherry, but it's rather expensive.
