Sandy Paton told a great story about being down south, North Carolina as I recall, and stopping in a little diner for breakfast. He ordered eggs and bacon and toast but the waitress told him the grits weren't ready yet. Sandy explained he really didn't care much about grits anyhow and he'd be happy with just the eggs and bacon. The waitress still refused to serve him eggs without grits, it just wasn't done that way! So Sandy waited for the grits he really didn't want anyway to be served with his eggs.
