Of the wordy formats, that is probably my favorite, but I prefer no keywords:

   t = ( "spam" not in s  -> "customer"
       >< "eggs" in s     -> "vikings"
                          -> "waitress") # could be spelled  >< True -> "waitress"

or as a one-liner:

   t = "spam" not in s -> "customer" >< "eggs" in s -> "vikings" -> "waitress"
