The man who mistook plant for a meat.

[DGoddessChardonnay]

All I can say is Jessica Simpson should thank this guy for taking the attention off of her for fifteen minutes.

She must have a lot of cousins out there . . . .I think I met one of them today:

Young guy (looked around 18-20) was in the back hallway looking around. I'm just coming out from the backroom through the double doors and he asks where the restroom is.

The men's restroom door was right BEHIND him. I simply point to it and say "Right behind you."

He turns around, pushes on the door and asks "Right here?"

I had to walk away before I said something that might have made me look like a total smartass.

Not to mention I felt at least a hundred brain cells make that lemming leap off the cliff.

can you die of mental whiplash?

... I think my brain just tried to commit suicide.

... I think my brain just tried to commit suicide.

N00b. Mine's tried that many times. Now it's held together with staples, duct tape and Gorilla glue.

No ill effects though. *falls over, giggles wildly, then passes out in a puddle of his own drool.*

Great.... now I'm wanting zucchini bread, carrot cake, and pumpkin roll & pie, and blueberry muffins.

And the birthday cake I request most often: Tomato Soup Cake! Kind of like a cross between a spice cake and a red velvet cake. Absolutely delish!

[Becks]

It shouldn't even be considered edible

Oh, come on. You have to at least try Stouffer's frozen mac & cheese. It's my favorite.

I think I have a cookie recipe like that. At least, it's referred to as "based on" the cake.

Now, if this man routinely thinks GREEN chicken is the norm. I have to ask what kind of chicken has this guy been eating and how is he not dead from eating it? :P

[Nyx]

SC: NO NO NO Not sweet onion I said chicken! *he's pointing to the lettuce*
Me: ....sir that's Lettuce...
SC: Really?
Me:

One of my former trainees and I got into an actual argument at work about potatoes. This dumbshit actually thought that potatoes grow on trees.

Wuh...buh...???

So, yes tomatoes are biologically a fruit, and culinarily a vegetable there, we're all right

Makes sense looking at it that way. A girl in a high school class of mine tried to argue that the biology teacher was wrong and she was right that a tomato is a vegetable (biologically that is).

[BookstoreEscapee]

No! It's not lettuce! Soylent Greens is PEOPLE!!

I prefer Soylent Milk.

Don't you guys remember? Back in the early 1980s the USDA proposed that tomatoes became vegetables when they were turned into ketchup.

Somebody was skipping school that day . . .

[Mr Hero]

Imagine him in conversation:

"How was your day?"

"Well, first I spilled my morning sunflower all over my Aardvark and had to change it because my pommegranite was starting to burn and then I had to rush to the talcum powder so I could meet with the butterfly ...

First I got up and had a piece of toast. Then I brushed my teeth. Then I went to the store to buy some fish.

[Seshat]

Bear in mind that many, many residents of cities these days have never grown anything edible, milked a cow or seen one milked, taken eggs from a henhouse, or cast a fishing line into a river.

For these people, all food comes from a supermarket. They have probably seen Sesame Street or Playschool short films about where food comes from, but the cognitive reality - their personal experience - says that food comes from a supermarket.

The agriculture lobby actually succeeded with that one a bit later on, for trade protection versus the south american and central american tomato growers. More's the pity, as it meant I spent my childhood not realizing that a good tomato shouldn't feel like a brick.

(yay, my college degree provides such a wealth of useless information!)

[tropicsgoddess]

Damn...and I thought the SC's I got at work were utter morons. This SC takes the cake.
