Customer: I'd like one hamburger, without cheese.
Server: Uh, hamburgers don't come with cheese, so you can't get one without
   it.
C: Huh?  I can't have a hamburger without cheese on it?
S: No, I mean, you can only get a cheeseburger without cheese.
C: If I get a cheeseburger without cheese it would be a hamburger.
S: Uh, yeah, I guess so.
C: But you just told me that I can't have a hamburger without cheese.
S: Right, cuz then it would be a cheeseburger.  Except it wouldn't have
   any cheese...
C: Look, do you have anything without cheese?
S: McNuggets and hamburgers is all.
C: Uck.  Tell you what, give me a vanilla shake, no cheese.
S: What?  Shakes don't come with cheese.
C: This again?  Look, I just asked you what you had without cheese.
   McNuggets and hamburgers.  I don't want cheese, so I ordered a vanilla
   shake without cheese.
S: But a vanilla shake comes without cheese!
C: Ok, ok.  How much extra is the cheese?
S: For a vanilla shake?  You can't order cheese on a shake.
C: And you won't let me order a shake without cheese.  Look, let's forget
   all about the cheese.  Just give me a cup of coffee.
S: Would you like fries with that?
C: Can I get the fries without cheese?
S: Uh, yeah well, I guess so.
C: I don't want to put you to any trouble.  Make that a cup of coffee,
   without fries and cheese.
S: We're out of coffee.
C: But I'll bet you have some cheese back there...
