Cultural Misunderstanding

Me, in a restaurant in Texas: "That half-rack of ribs -- are those spare ribs or baby back ribs?"
Waitress: "They're pork ribs."
Me: briefest of pauses "Sounds good -- I'll go with that."

Reminiscent of this classic:

Lloyd: "What's the soup du jour?"
Waitress: "It's the soup of the day."
Lloyd: "Mmm, that sounds good. I'll have that."
