I went into a garden center and asked the manager for AROMATIC sweet pea. He didn't know what aromatic meant and I had to explain it to him, a garden center manager.

a surprising amount of people on Boards think it's correct to write 'I wasn't allowed do it' or 'I was made do it', so the OP isn't entirely incorrect. The example she gave was silly, though.

i usually make a point of reading a whole thread before i reply, but i just couldnt be doing it with this one....

so i'll just leave this here:

"I was in a Chinese restaurant when a duck came up to me with a rose and said:
'Your eyes sparkle like the stars'.
So I said to the waiter: 'Excuse me, I ordered aromatic duck!!!!!!'
