Several explanations suggest themselves.
(1) Condiment for meals during late-night sessions.
(2) Cheap dessicant, to keep humidity low.
(3) Throw it over your left shoulder to keep the devil at bay. http://everything2.com/title/throwing%2520salt%2520over%2520your%2520left%2520shoulder
(4) My personal favorite – because if you have spaghetti, salt makes it tastier.
I really can’t think of any use for it.
I go with Jeff’s 4 – the first thing I thought was with all that spaghetti, you need salt.
Jesus, who cables like that? Someone needs a little help!
I give Jeff a thumbs-up for 2 and a ;-) for 3.
Salt can also be used to smother fires, although I doubt it would be effective on a vertical spaghetti flambe’.
