If you are allergic to peanuts and buy a salad with /any/ nut in it
then you are taking your life into your own hands since most nuts are
all processed/packed with equipment that comes in contact with other
nuts including peanuts.

I remember a fond Christmas where I was going around spreading good
cheer and found a cooky shop that was open and noticed that they
didn't have a "warning if you are allergic to peanuts then don't eat
here" sticker. My girlfriend teases me all the time because I wasn't
content to let it be but had to ask "Why don't you have a sticker
warning people allergic to peanuts that all of your cookies come in
contact with equipment that processes peanuts? Since all of the chain
cooky places have this sticker to avoid being sued out of existence I
would think you would as well."

This was the same day that I notified the Everything-American Shop
that their outside display flag was a faded, tattered disgrace and the
Harley shop was playing Enya.

Man I love Christmas.
