Samuel Iam

My name is Sam. I recently discovered a delicious dish. I knew I had to share it with my good friend. I arrived at Goldman Sachs eager to tell my cube mate all about this amazing dish. We work in investment banking and he always seems to be a bit overwhelmed. I know this dish would put him in higher spirits. I walked in and asked “Do you like green eggs and ham?”

“No Samuel Iam. I do not like green eggs and ham” he said quickly

“Really” I said “I can get it for lunch we can have them right here or even over there”

“I would not like them here or there. I would not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them Samuel Iam.”

My friend sure has a great sense of humor. He gets real formal sometimes. That’s one of the things I like about my dear friend. So I asked “how about we grab some green eggs and ham after work. I heard about a great spot in China town, we could even eat it on the train. What do you say to that?”

“I do not like them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Samuel Iam.”

Okay Okay I get it I said. “You just wanna grab some take-out with Linda from accounting”

Not in a box. Not with a fox. Not in a house. Not with a mouse. I would not eat them here or there. I would not eat them anywhere. I would not eat green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Samuel Iam.

“Well alright what about this weekend I know your driving out to a boat party on the shore. If you invite me I could bring some along for the ride out.”

“I would not, could not, in my car. I just got the LS 430”

“I just told my friend about green eggs and ham and he suggested it with a little green”

“I would not, could not in a tree. Not in a car! You let me be. I do not like them in a box. I do not like them with a fox. I do not like them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Samuel Iam.”

“What if I just swing by your apartment tonight? You can make a night of it. It could be good on a rainy night alone. I mean between two friends ” I suggested

“I would not, could not, in the rain. Not in the dark. Not on a train. Not in a car. Not in a tree. I do not like them, Sam, you see. Not in a house. Not in a box. Not with a mouse. Not with a fox. I will not eat them here or there. I do not like them anywhere!”

“So what are you saying?” I asked

“I do not like them, Sam Iam”

That’s when I understood. “You need some Island flavor. Try it with some curry goat”

“I will not, will not, with a goat. I will not eat them in the rain. I will not eat them on a train. Not in the dark! Not in a tree! Not in a car! You let me be! I do not like them in a box. I do not like them with a fox. I will not eat them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them ANYWHERE!”

“You say you won’t like them but I know you will. I’ll just bring some back from lunch”

“Sam! If you will let me be, I will try them. You will see.”

Linda from accounting came over to see what all the fuss was about. I told her about green eggs and ham. She went on about how much she loves it. “As a matter of fact I have some in my luchbox” she exclaimed

With that suggestion my good friend decided to give green eggs and ham a try

“Say!” he said with a grin “I like green eggs and ham! I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!”

He continued “And I would eat them on my boat. And I would eat them with some goat.

And I will eat them in the rain. And in the dark. And on a train. And in a car. And in a tree. They are so good, so good, you see! So I will eat them in a box. And I will eat them with a fox. And I will eat them in a house. And I will eat them with a mouse. And I will eat them here and there. Say! I will eat them ANYWHERE! I do so like green eggs and ham! Thank you! Thank you Sam-I-am!”
