I think a bit of lightness around here is much needed, CS. Sorry you're feeling ill. I understand.
Anyway, I have a story. It might not be as funny as it is odd, but I did have a laugh. :)
I went through a Starbucks drive-thru and ordered a grande steamed egg nog. Once I got my drink, I left the drive-thru window and soon after realized I received something with coffee (an egg nog latte?). I went back through and explained that I had ordered a steamed egg nog but received something with coffee. The drive-thru employee said, "well, our drinks all have coffee. You need to tell us if you're ordering something without coffee." I said, "Umm, I ordered a *steamed egg nog*" at which point, she did tell me, somewhat begrudgingly, that she could replace it. When I pulled up and put the drink with coffee on the shelf, she seemed surprised that I didn't still want that drink and took it back as though she had never touched something with so many germs. (Not quite sure what that was about. I don't think I look like a germy kind of person.) Anyway, she again told me I needed to specify that I didn't want coffee. I asked how I should have placed my order other than requesting a "steamed egg nog" and she said, "well, a steamed egg nog NO COFFEE".
Okay, following that logic, next time I go to McDonalds for chicken nuggets, I guess I'll order "chicken nuggets NO HAMBURGER". :)
