I hear it has medicinal properties
Wednesday night I went out to dinner with my mom and dad.
It was nothing fancy; just the three of us at a Chinese buffet.
One of the things I tried was called "Dragon Phoenix". It was a combination of shrimp, chicken and (probably fake) lobster, all mixed together in a rich buttery garlic cream sauce. I know, it doesn't sound Chinese at all. But it was yummy.
I mentioned that the Dragon Phoenix was really good.
Dad thought for a moment, with a kind of odd expression, and then he asked "WHAT did you say that stuff was called??"
"Dragon Phoenix," I repeated.
"Oh..." he responded with a bit of relief. "I thought you said something else."
Turns out he thought I was eating Dragon Penis.

Those of us on a budget have to stick to the lesser expensive....
Lizard Dick.
Later Y'all.
To be fair, that's pretty close to what it says about you on the men's room wall.
Morgen: The dragons wouldn't be too happy about that.
Meloncutter: The flavor isn't quite the same, is it? :)
BroadwayMatron: Thank you! Stay warm and dry, wherever you are. :)
Gwen: What are you doing in the men's room?
I bet they charge extra for that.
GigglePixie: I should have asked! :)
Now that definitely illustrates the importance of proper diction.
Happy Holiday my dear!
It's probably best for everyone if you don't ask those sorts of questions.
Gwen: I will probe with every fiber of my being until I get satisfactory answers, and then I will broadcast those answers to every person on the planet via every possible form of mass media... and then it will come as no surprise when I mysteriously turn up missing one day. The house will smell like Canada, and all my chutney jars will be gone... And people will KNOW all about you. It's only a matter of time.
By "smell like Canada" you mean it will reek of trees, right?
Gwen: And rotting beef carcasses. No, wait... that's the yaks.
Travis: (Sorry I missed you earlier) Yes! Definitely a reason for proper diction.
Heh. Hehheh. Dic-tion.
I get it. :)
