Bert: Your story about "imported" Romano reminded me of this:

A certain buffet-style restaurant near here had 2 prices posted on its menu, one for "Domestic beer" and one for "Imported beer." I ordered a locally made "craft" brew. I was surprised to see that the clerk rang up the "imported" price. I said, "Hey, that's not imported!" He replied, "Yeah, well, we classify it as imported because it's expensive."
