Cathy: ...Sixteen! What did you get? Irving: What did I get for what?? Cathy: What did you get for your crouton calculation? Irving: My what?? Cathy: When your salad arrived, and you visualized all the croutons laid in flat rows, how many did you calculate would equal one piece of bread? Irving: Why would I do that? Cathy: So you'd know how many croutons you could eat! Irving: Why couldn't I eat all my croutons? Cathy: Because as soon as you eat enough croutons to equal two pieces of bread, you'll feel terrible! Irving: Because then your SALAD has o count as a SANDWICH! Cathy: NO!! A salad NEVER, EVER, EVER, counts as a sandwich!! It doesn't matter HOW MANY croutons you eat! Irving: I give up. Saleswoman: Masters of so many complex sports......Yet they'll never really understand the rules of "salad".

She read somewhere that deep thinking burns calories (‘tis true; something like 1/3 of the calories you burn each day are consumed by the brain), so she figures that if she does these elaborate calculations around croutons, she’ll have burned up enough calories to actually eat them.

Salads do too count as sandwiches!
Let’s see: chopped up bread, lettuce, dressing, meat (if chicken). Yup, that’s a sandwich!

Wow, this is new to me. I’ve never thought of putting croutons together to make a slice of bread. And since I don’t eat the croutons, salads are not sandwiches to me. The purpose of bread in a sandwich is to keep it together, not for flavor or texture as croutons are in a salad.

If I wanted more texture in a salad, I’d add nuts and I almost never order a salad at a restaurant; at home I use fresh veggies and good crisp romaine (never head lettuce) and I make salad dressing with plain yogurt and good blue cheese- YUM!
