"Excuse me Mr. Butcher, but do you have any Zippy Beef?"

I'm sorry ma'am, what?

"Zippy beef."

The only reference I can make would be the pinheaded cartoon character, popular in the 70s and 80s. We don't sell meat base on cartoon characters.

"I would dispute that."

Dispute what? Do you think I have Andy Capp tongue back here somewhere?

"I would dispute that his popularity was confined to the 70s and 90s. The strip still continues, and the artist put out many books in the 90s as well as the oughts."

Ma'am, productivity is not synonymous with popularity.

"Fine." (pause) "A pound of chorizo, then."
