Side by John W. Howell copyright 2014
“Give me a side of potatoes.”
“Sorry sir the potatoes re extra.”
“How much extra?”
“One dollar.”
“One dollar. I could go to the market and buy a pound of potatoes for a dollar.”
“Well sir you might just want to do that. I’ll hold your burger order till you get back.”
“I love a burger flipper with an attitude. I want the manager.”
“You and me both. Have you met the manager. What a knockout.”
“Listen kid I don’t have much more time for your stand-up audition. Call me the manager.”
“Okay you are the manager. How may I help you your highness?”
“See this fist. I may just have to come over the counter and give you a knuckle sandwich.”
“That will count as a side and will be a dollar as well.”
“What will count as a side?”
“The sandwich you mentioned. I’m not sure knuckle is on the menu, but all our sandwiches with a burger are extra.”
“Okay who can I talk to?”
“Given your state of agitation I might suggest a psychologist.”

I miss the term knuckle sandwich. I never thought I would say that, seeing as how I received my share of such threats back in the day. Great stuff.

Thanks. I like the term myself. I think a detective story with the following dialog might be cool: “Keep it up and I’ll serve you a knuckel sandwich.” “I’ll have mine with mayo please.”
