LPT: Deli slicers have a numbered dial for thickness
When I was in grade school, my dad let me use the canteen he'd brought home from Korea for my adventures. When I filled it at the kitchen sink, I found I could tell how full it was getting by the sound. I told him, thinking the marines would want to pass that hint along in a training film. He smiled and told me I wasn't the first one to notice that. I hope this isn't another "canteen moment".
The meat slicer at your local deli has a dial with numbers on it. Once you find the ideal thickness for your ham, turkey or pastrami, ask the clerk what number it was. The next time you go, telling them "Set the slicer to 30, please" is a lot more accurate than "razor-thin", "medium", or "really thick".
I just read rule #4 , about "common sense". I'm embarrassed at how many times I asked for "really thick" before I started using a number.
