[US] Arizona Reporter 8 Feb. 5/3: A sickly looking customer at one of the Phoenix restaurants ordered a couple of eggs on toast. The waiter [...] transferred the order in the loud voice, after this fashion: ‘Bring Adam and Eve in a sloop.’ [...] He countermanded the order in favor of scrambled eggs. [...] ‘All right,’ said the waiter again [...] ‘Put your foot on the sloop and shipwreck Adam and Eve.’.
at Adam and Eve, n.1
