“Do You Like Salads?”

Why, yes!

The telemarketer, sorry, researcher, called to ask if I’d like to participate in a taste test for a “national restaurant chain” this afternoon. I was clearly intrigued.

“Which one?”

“I’m not supposed to say…”

“But how will I know if I want to go there?”

“Well, we’ll pay you for your time. I can tell you which chain if you qualify.”

“I’m not interested in getting paid necessarily, I’d just like to have good food. What kind of food are we talking about here?”

“Salads. They have salads. Do you like salads?”

“Sure I do, but is it a salad restaurant, per se?”

“I can’t really talk about that. So, what’s your age?”

“I’m in the the 20-to-60 demographic.”

Oh, by the way, the Coalition Provisional Authority transferred sovereignty two days early to an interim government in Iraq today. Ho hum. Whatever.

Are we winning the War On Terror yet?

I hope so.
