Toast and jamb and morning coffee

K “Good morning sweet girl, would you like to have some coffee with me before I go?”

S “mmmmmmmmmm. Girlfrang, when will you find out if you can get your extension? ”

K “ The jammer is on leave right now, I’ll have to wait till I get back from Yuma.”

S “The who?”

K “The jammer.”

S “Why do you call him the jammer?

K “I dunno. I guess because he jams through the paperwork? Who knows.”

S “Jam like grape jam? I wonder how jam came to mean force.”

K “You know like a door jam. That little wedge of wood you force under the door.”

S “Oh, Jamb like J-A-M-B, door jamb?”

K “No J-A-M, door jam.”

S “J-A-M-B”

K “J-A-M”

S “And yet, I still continue to believe it has a B on it. Hand me my phone.”

K ”Here you go girl, sorry you’re wrong.”

S “Ah hem, Door jamb, J-A-M-B: a door jamb is the vertical portion of a door and bears all the weight of the lintel.”

K “The lentil? That’s a bean!?

S “Yes it’s a beam.”

K “But that makes no sense, wait, what? Beam or bean?”

S “B-E-A-M. Liiiintle, not leeeentle.”

K “You just said the same word.”

S “lentil, lintel, lentil, lintel. Do you hear the difference?

K “No. You just said the same thing again.”
S Deep sigh. "lentil, lintel, lentil, lintel. Now do you get it?"
K "Ahhhhhhhh. No. They are different words like; I want to wear my new shirt, where did I put it?, but they sound the same."
S "They sound completely different, you just don't have a trained ear."
K "Well, I learned a new thing today though. That's something."
S "I love you. Don't land on a cactus."
