You Can't Have It Both Ways

I turned on the news to find some senator arguing some issue, and he said: "You can't have it both ways." Oh yeah? Well, I thought this was a free country, and I can have it both ways if I want to! So now the government's trying to limit our ability to have it both ways? On top of all the other erosions of our rights and liberty it sure seem like our options are becoming quite limited lately, doesn't it? And so I insist upon having it both ways, just to make a point. And just because he said that, I'm going to have a three-way.

(BTW: The term "have it both ways" would make a good name for some restaurant chain's dinner or breakfast item, wouldn't it? Perhaps it could be some breakfast selection with eggs in two styles (like poached and scrambled, or a breakfast sandwich featuring an omelette with a fried egg on top), with bacon and sausage; or maybe some chicken sandwich with two pieces of chicken: one grilled and the other fried to crispy perfection. Then the slogan for the ad campaign could be: "See? You really can have it both ways!" Although it's so obvious, someone's probably doing it {or likely has done it} already, huh?)
