at the deli

Marc asked, "What's on the Italian Fried Chicken?"

Deli lady answered, "Italian seasoning."

"What's in the Italian seasoning?"

"It's what we use to season Italian things."

"But what's in it?"

"The Italian seasoning."

"What does it taste like?"

"The Italian flavors."

"And those are?"

"It's what is in the Italian seasoning."

"OH MY GOD!"

So I looked at it and I said, "Ok, those are dehydrated red pepper flakes, and it probably involves basil and garlic and a lot of salt."

And Marc said "DOES IT HAVE ITALIANS IN IT"

And she said "YES, WE GRIND 'EM UP REAL FINE."

And the funny thing was, it tasted like Chinese greasy spoon orange chicken.
