Jean-Paul Sartre is sitting at a French cafe, revising his draft of Being and Nothingness.

He says to the waitress, "I'd like a cup of coffee, please, with no cream." The waitress replies, "I'm sorry, Monsieur, but we're out of cream. How about a cup of coffee with no milk?"

... The choice was a Billyburger or a Goonieburger. ... The waitress didn't know who or what Billy and Goonie were, but she said of the Goonie, "It comes with everthing includen tomaters." And the Billy? "It just comes with everthing."
