When you ask your mother to make you something for lunch do you ask for a ‘Ham and Cheese sandwich’ or a ‘PB & J sandwich’? You’re damn right you do. Now, if you’re in the mood for a hot dog do you ask “Mom can I have a hot dog sandwich for lunch?’ HELL NO YOU DON’T. Get this question outta here.

A friendly stranger waves to you across the way. BOOM! Have yourself a hot dog kind stranger. That same person gets mustard on their shirt. BOOM! Have yourself a new shirt my now friend.
