I was watching the movie “Sleepless In Seattle” the other day (for the umpteenth time) – and found myself caught up in the following exchange:
The Meg Ryan character, Annie Reed, was explaining to her mother how she met her fiancé Walter.
Seems there was a mix-up with their lunch orders.
Walter – who’s allergic to everything – had ordered a Tomato Sandwich on white bread.
Annie had ordered a Tomato Sandwich on whole wheat
According to Annie, here’s what happened:
“One day we both ordered sandwiches from the same place, and he got my Lettuce & Tomato on Whole Wheat – which, of course, he was allergic to – and I got his Lettuce & Tomato on White”
In other words, Walter was allergic to whole wheat bread, but not white bread.
I mean, is that even possible?
