Yes...I have kept quiet long enough today...and I can't bear to keep this in
any longer...I have a salad rant.

Against my better judgement, I took the girl's to McDonald's for lunch...we
grace this place maybe once a month...or less. But the girl's really wanted
those yucky, so called "chicken" nuggets and so I obliged. I got a salad. 

I just wanted a regular salad....you know...a normal, lettuce, tomato, onion
salad...but instead of just granting my request I had to hear all about the
Cobb Salad and the Bacon something or other salad and I reiterated to the drone
behind the speaker..."just a regular salad". In response, "What do you
mean?...we have Cobb.....Bacon......" I said, "don't you have a garden salad
with no meat or cheese...just greens?" "That would be our side salad, is that
what you mean?" she asked. I nodded.

So, I get my tiny little side salad out and the first thing I notice is one of
the tomatoes......it is half green. Now come on, if you were making a salad and
you found a green tomato..wouldn't you throw it away? Not this person, they
included this lovely bi-colored fruit in my side salad. I picked it out and
tossed it in the trash. Then I noticed how slimy some of the lettuce
looked....the lettuce on top looked ok...but at the bottom of the
container..the lettuce was slimy. You know, slimy like if you forget to use
that lettuce in your crisper and 6mo later you notice this bag in there...half
water and half slime? That was at the bottom. YUCK! So, needless to say....I
threw the whole damned thing away and nibbled on my girls' french fries.

Thanks for listening.
