“Do You Like Salads?”<\/b><\/p>\n

Why, yes!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“But how will I know if I want to go there?”<\/p>\n

“Well, we’ll pay you for your time. I can tell you which chain if you qualify.”<\/i><\/p>\n

“Salads. They have salads. Do you like salads?”<\/i><\/p>\n

“Sure I do, but is it a salad restaurant, per se?”<\/p>\n

“I can’t really talk about that. So, what’s your age?”<\/i><\/p>\n

“I’m in the the 20-to-60 demographic.”<\/p>\n

Are we winning the War On Terror yet?<\/p>\n

I hope so.<\/p>\n
