"A biscotti."

"A bi-what-y?"

"Biscotti."

"Can I have one?"

"Sure!"

"Hey - this cookie is stale."

"No, it's supposed to be that way."

"Cookies are supposed to be soft and chewy."

"Not these. They are meant to dunk in your coffee."

"Who want's a stale cookie?"

"*sigh* It's not a stale cookie. It's a biscotti. You dunk them - they are fabulous."

"But I don't drink coffee."

"You can dunk them in your tea."

"No tea here."

"Well you can dunk them in sweet wine."

"Can I dunk them in rum?"

"Uh, I suppose."

"That seems dumb, though. Dunking a cookie in rum."

"Well, then you probably shouldn't eat biscotti."
