I told this story here a few years ago, but I think Hamsters like General Tso, too.
Place: My local Happy Lucky Golden Dragon Restaurant. I have just ordered General Tso take-out.
Eve: “So, who was this General Tso, anyway?”
Cashier: “What?”
Eve [already regretting asking]: “Umm, I eat his chicken a lot, so I was just wondering, who is General Tso?”
Cashier [looking at receipt]: “He Eve Golden.”
Eve: “No, no. Not who ordered it–who was he?”
Cashier: “He chicken in spicy sauce.”
Eve: “Umm, never mind . . .”
[Cashier calls manager]
Manager: “Is something wrong?”
Eve: “No . . . I was just ordering some General Tso’s chicken, and I was wondering if anyone knew who he was.”
Manager: “Oh, I dunno. He some Chinese guy.”
