Cliff's Notes:

Italian immigrant won't allow customers at his sandwich shop to order in Spanish. "Wid" (with onions) and "Wid Cheeze Whiz" (with Parmesan cheese) are OK.

I PMed Mikey and asked him to make a sign and post it on the front door of Geno's: "Mzuri, asanti sana, Bwana Vento, jambo jambo hbari kwaheri uhuruu ujamaa, harambee kwalimu (Julius Nyerere).

Outside of my Sandwich Shop:
"Yes, you can point and grunt. You came here to get a sandwich, not a lecture on politics, globalization, language, or atomic physics."
