AMERICAN CHOICES

     52 FLAVOURS IN AN AMERICAN ICE CREAM PARLOUR

     In Africa
     Bread is bread
     And tea is tea.

In the United States
Every ice cream has a choice:

"How may I help you sir?"
     'Toasted almond and coffee ice cream please.
"Cone or cup?"
     'Aa, cone please ...'
"Small medium or large?"
     'Aa, large ...'
"Plain wafer or sugar?"
     'Aa, wafer ...'
"Cash check or credit card?"
     'Aa, cash ...'
"Plastic or paper?"
