overheard at delaurenti's deli counter today

tourist wearing Buffalo Bills polo shirt, eyeing deli meat counter: Excuse me, do you have any blah-blah-blah (I didn't catch what he said) ham?

DeLaurenti's deli counter guy, blankly: No, what's that?

Bills fan: Wild Boar from Sicily or Corsica

Deli guy, even more blankly: no

Bills fan has nothing further to add to this, looks down & walks away.

Not sure why I even remember this kind of stuff or why it strikes me as funny, but I do and it does. I have my doubts the guy would have bought any, and that he was just trying to show off his advanced level of ham-sophistication, though he apparently forgot that kind of ham is illegal to import to the US.

I learned that when I was in Spain. See--I'm pretty ham-phisticated too! or maybe just ham-fisted? ham handed?
