The king is a cabbage head.

The king was Waldemar’s best customer.

Ol King Coleslaw

I hear he’s a real cut up on the ballroom floor…he shreds all competition…

This is not as easy as it sounds. You just try carving a monarch out of lettuce. The hard part is carving away half a wit at the end.

But his main source of income was the salad bar that paid handsomely for his shavings.

Lettuce entertain you! Lettuce make you smile…………

Halfwit whittler.

Wait, which is the halfwit, Waldemar or the king?

Is this the origin of caesar salad?
