Delicious

When I was a boy, with my family at the dinner table, my father sometimes pointed to his plate and, in a theatrically stern voice, asked us, “What do you call this?” We knew the story! Army Air Corp, WWII, a visiting general once dined with the enlisted men. Unhappy with the fare, the general called the cook into the mess hall, pointed to his plate and demanded, “What do you call this?” The cook calmly replied, “Sir! I call it delicious!” Whenever our Dad posed that question at dinner, the family answered as one: “Sir! I call it delicious!”
