This sentence just doesn't seem right

I was watching a documentary which was describing 10 ways life may end on this planet (cheery subject!).

Anyway, one of the ways was an eruption by a super volcano and they demonstrated the effect in a laboratory. The narrator then said:

"Imagine this on an unimaginable scale".

How?

 

[KenCunningham]

In the same way you can 'Dream The Impossible Dream'?

 

[addy]

Yes, I guess so!

Or, for that matter, give 110% as most athletes seem to do nowadays.

Like winning that state lottery when it reaches about $365M!

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Then you may want to add the source info to it.

So, let's hear it for "dye a colorful deaf."

If my choice is "super volcano," I'll take the soup. Cano's are, you know, like lumpy.

Hee hee. I lava good joke. Wish I had one...

In Las Vegas, everything is "super" this or "super" that. So when I heard the waitress asked "super salad?" I didn't realize what she really asked was "Soup or Salad?"

(Shamelessly stolen from some comedian a few years back, I can't remember who. Maybe Rodney Dangerfield.)

 

[AnotherHiggins]

There's actually a chain-restaurant called, Souper Salad.

They offer - you guessed it - soups and salads. There's one here in Durham not far from where I live.

When I was little, I'd always notice a Souper Salad that seemed to have an identity crisis. The sign above the store's door said "Souper Salad," but the sign on the side of the building said "Soupor Salad." I understood the joke either way, but I never knew which one was the real name!

What would you have said to the waitress if she had asked: "Ceaser Salad?" Would you have responded "Seize" or "Seas" (or chicken out and say "Salad")?

Tracy Dryden

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons,
For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.

 

[Stella740pl]

What would you have said to the waitress if she had asked: "Ceaser Salad?"
Isn't she supposed to ask "Caesar salad?"?

 

[KenCunningham]

Et tu Brute?

 

[AnotherHiggins]

No, no. The Ides of March was five days ago.

Waitress: "Seize your salad?"

Me: "What's the damn thing done now?"

Waitress: "Ate two blue cheese."

Me: "But it paid full price for the Greens fees."

Waitress: "It was half-off with a crouton."

Me: "Bread is not an issue. Where'd you go to school?"

Waitress: "Bowling Green," of course.
