Tonight my housemates and I broke out the mini charcoal grill and went up on to the roof to make some burgers.  Sean had a recipe for “Hawaiian” hamburgers: ground beef marinated with soy sauce topped off with a slice of pineapple. We used those sliced rings of pineapple from a can, but also had the standard lettuce, tomato, onion slices, and condiments.  I was on burger-flipping duty, so naturally I served myself last.  As I was deciding how to garnish my own burger, I asked my housemates how they were enjoying theirs.

“Do you like it?” I asked, hesitating over the slice of pineapple.

They did.

“Well, if you like it then I’d better put a ring on it.”

Silence.
