But, but the corn salsa is the best.
I do get annoyed that the vegetarian burrito is the same price as a chicken burrito. Can't I get a price break for not getting the dead bird chunks?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You, my friend, are insane. The red salsa is the best! Anyway, once I've had rice and beans, I figure I don't need corn as well. Anyway, I took it, it was fine.

I do get the red salsa too, but the corn salsa is very yummy.

You get the guac included, which the chicken-eaters don't.

Ooh, that's sheisty. (Is that how you spell that?)
I think you made up a word.
Which is a perfectly cromulent thing to do.

I didn't make it up! I've just never seen it in print. [link]

Ah, I don't get the guac. I see now that I'm just subsidizing the guac. My burrito sounds so healthy; rice, beans, corn, red salsa, lettuce; until you get to the sour cream and cheese part.

Okay, I *am* familiar with sheister (though I think I've only seen it spelled "shyster," which makes no sense now that I think about it), so I guess sheisty is derived from sheister.
I learned a new word!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Wikipedia says 'Shyster' is the correct spelling: [link]
The word is derived from the German verb scheissen, "to defecate" and the English suffix -ster, "one who does". Shyster is an alteration of the German scheißer, because he knows what to do "incompetent worthless person".[2]

Hm. I'd always assumed shyster came from Shylock, not from "scheissen".
(Amusing side-note: when I was studying German in college, one of the students forgot the pronunciation rules for the IE/EI dipthongs, and instead of "to shoot" - shiessen - said "to shit" - shiessen. Frau Janess was MOST outraged.)
