Transcript of “Joe with Cow and Sand”
Hey Grant. Hey Martha. What do you say we go get Joe with cow and sand? So coffee with milk and sugar? Excellent! That’s it! Oh, diner speak.
Well, yeah, I read about that in an old American speech article about naval slang.
Oh, cool.
Isn’t that great from World War II? Joe with cow and sand.
Yeah, yeah. Coffee with milk and sugar.
Yeah, maybe a little hen fruit on the side.
