I would question how good a potato salad is if nobody wants it, but since eating this potato salad takes on moral implications, it’s goodness is important to the story. Elly is willing to make the self-sacrifice that will bring truth and justice for the unloved, but morally pure potato salad; while unfeeling John argues that there is nothing wrong with throwing it out. NOTHING WRONG, John? What kind of man are you that makes your wife stand up for potato salad, while you stand there like a heartless guttersnipe unwilling to lift a finger for that poor, poor potato salad? Good thing my spouse is not like you. My spouse would man up and eat that potato salad. Instead you leave it to Elly to eat for those millions of potato salads who know that their little potato lives will go fulfilled all thanks to brave women like Elly Patterson.
