Salt

“Look at that Enzo” said the Silverback.
“It’s salt” sez I.

“It’s a salt lake Enzo” he corrected.
“True” sez I, “but there’s not a lot of water in ya lake”

“ That’s because they’ve allowed the water to evaporate in the sun” says the Silverback. He continued after pausing….“It’s all part of the salt mining process Enzo. First they fill the lake with sea water through a sluice gate, the sun evaporates the water, they harvest the salt and then refine it into a commercial product”.

“Interesting” sez I …..“so…..”
(I paused dramatically using his favourite point making technique)

“So...? “ asked the Silverback.
“So, it’s salt” sez I.

“That’s right Enzo, it’s salt.”
“Yup, thought it was” sez I.
