On last night’s episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart wore a chef’s hat for a segment about the Pope’s Twitter account name. Well, when he doffed this hat, I could clearly see that there were six holes on the top of it, organized like the holes on the top of a salt shaker. And seeing as how the cylindrical shape, with the ridges around the sides, and the white color, when added to the six holes on the top of it, made it look like a giant salt shaker, that made me wonder: Is this how chefs in New York City have to smuggle in their salt these days, in light of Mayor Bloomberg’s salt assault laws? I hope Mr. Stewart didn't just accidentally reveal their method of contraband smuggling! (The sentencing for salt smuggling is probably worse than it is for cocaine nowadays, what with the food police out in force like it is lately!)
