There Is Such A Thing As Too Much Salad

Indeed.

At dinner, the usual small salad bowls were missing last night. Of course, as luck would have it, Dan was next in line. He reached across to the giant size bowls and piled it up high with everything - beetroot, mint leaves, tuna and beans with olives, lettuce, sweet corn, cucumber and tomato - in sight.

Seeing this, Denise surreptitiously nudged her junior behind the counter and whispered, "Pssst... We have a problem. Get the smaller bowls! The kids are going wiiild with the salad."

hehehe, the dining hall supervisor's face I'd have liked to see. but the LSE skimps on salad? tsk tsk. so what if the 'kids' had an extra helping of salad one day?

@anon - hahahaha. LSE has all types, doesn't it?

Scary as she is, you can't blame Denise. She has alot of stuff going on at dinner - kids trying to steal fruit, while she's watching the cheesecake, people trying to get fish and meat and vegetarian lasagne or whatever on one plate, those sneaky kids coming up again to get three packets of yogurt to eat at lunch the next day. Its a warzone out there! And Dan was stocking up on salad like a squirrel gathering nuts for winter! (Please also keep in mind Dan's size.)

Just for the record, Anon here sends 1500 word emails about Denise denying her dinner after the dining hall has shut and the psychological damage its caused her.

*chuckle* never thought i'd hear 'the kids are going wild with the salad'. like the 'next peanut you throw will be your last'.

Haha. Me neither. But this was a bit of savage situation. I forgot to mention the aghast onlookers.
