Hearts and bandages

I went to this sushi bar and ordered some sushi. When I sat in the corner with my miso soup, I heard this woman come in and order a take away. Okay, not that no one is ever doing that in this sushi bar, but she was especially remarkable.

Woman: I want a sushi, five pieces, no crabfish, to take away.
Cashier (in not so fluent Swedish): What do you want instead of crab? Fish maybe? Do you want the shrimp?
W: Yes, I want the shrimp, take fish instead.
Silence
W (being pedagogical to the not-so-good-in-Swedish cashier): Crab is crab, and shrimp is the small one, crab is the big one. And crabfish, that’s crab on sticks…
The cashier remains silent, nodding without understanding a word the woman said. You could see from the woman’s face that she was confused by her own words, too. I almost got a piece of salmon stuck in my throat.
W: Yes, crabfish is crab meat on sticks.
Me (thinking): No, crabfish is white fish with crab flavour…

Well, I guess the woman was just trying to be kind to the poor little cashier… But this was just funny :P.
