Last time I had a salad at Mass General (with Linn I think) I ran up against the glob of blue cheese stuck in the pump catastrophy. Ended up with a half a jug of dressing on my salad...much to everyone's amusement.

When Burger King first introduced salads on their menu, I ordered one at a rest stop on the Jersey Turnpike. It came with a little bag of salad dressing - pre the notch to open it. I tried and tried but could not open it. In frustration I put it over the salad and squeezed. The whole envelope exploded - on me, my hair, my clothes and maybe some on my salad. A little boy nearby was laughing out loud while his mother tried not to. I had to go to my next appointment covered in grease and smelling of vinegar.
