Yeah, someone at my company decided that "salad" is a vegetable. It was approved as a choice and posted to every employee worldwide. I just shook my head, made my selection of "corn" and submitted my vote to see what would happen. That's when I encountered this:
I think a better title for this screen would have been "Congratulations on not being one of 23% of the company that thinks salad is a vegetable. You may come back to work tomorrow." In these financially difficult times, with layoffs being so prevalent, I think this could be a great way for a company to conduct their reduction in force. Anyone who chose salad would have been greeted with a screen saying: "You thought salad was a vegetable...well, it's not. Thank you for your years of service, we wish you the best. Security will escort you out."
Naturally I couldn't resist the urge, so I posted this in the forums section. (Click for large view)

Luckily for me, security has not escorted me anywhere yet. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hey Disneymama, How many of those have you eaten lately?
Jewboy, Salad can fall under vegetables if it is a green salad of some kind. Macaroni or tuna or chicken or egg salad etc..does not fall under that catagory.So I can see your point.
salad itself is not a vegetable, but rather an amalgamation of a plethora of vegetables. and disneymama...get a new hobby
