The people want to know

A commentor in the last post wanted to know what exactly a "breadless turkey sandwich" was, as apparently that's what Oprah Winfrey was searching for at 26th and California yesterday.

Notwithstanding that food cooked in a correctional facility is more dangerous than anything, allow my carbohydrate expertise to be put to good use.

Oprah may have tried ordering a "wrap," which would be a turkey sandwich served on a tortilla, which has less carbs than bread. She may also have wanted the sandwich on lettuce, or maybe she wished to order it "Flying Dutchman Style." It's a way to avoid those eeeeevil carbohydrates.

Glad to help...

Okay, I understand a wrap and considered the concept of lettuce encasing the sandwich's innards (though I'm not sure I'd want that from a vending machine either), but "breadless sandwich" just struck me as an oxymoron. (It also struck me as funny the idea of Oprah walking around with turkey and mayo in one hand and lettuce and tomato in the other, which has since been described as 'Flying Dutchman' style.)

Thank you for this translation from Oprahese, oh humble and mighty Ruling Committee.
