Spock Misses The Point

I just realised that hamburgers don’t contain ham.  Unless you ask for a hamburger with bacon, then it’s close, but it’s still not ham.  If you ask for a hamburger with ham it just sounds wrong.  It’s like asking for a milkshake with milk.

Waiter: “And what would you like today sir?”
Sir: “I’ll start with a pumpkin soup with pumpkin.”
Waiter: “Of course.”
Sir: “Then I’d like a chicken kiev.”
Waiter: “Our specialty.”
Sir: “With chicken.”
Waiter: “Oh yes.  Fine choice sir.”
Sir: “I’ll finish with a pecan pie with ice cream.  I’d like the pie warmed.”
Waiter: “No problem at all.  Would you like pecan in the pecan pie sir?”
Sir: “Eh… yeah, why not.  I’m feeling brave.”
Waiter: “You won’t regret it sir.”
