[edit] Car theft?

I think there was a country song about a worker who smuggled parts from a factory every day and eventually built his own vehicle... Paullusmagnus 17:23, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)

• That would be "One Piece At A Time", by Johnny Cash. It didn't quite work the way the narrator planned. DS 14:31, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

From my primary school days I remember that I heard about salami slicing (in Slovene: tehnika salame) also in context of Hitler's plan to conquer the Central Europe country-by-country without disturbing the other countries too much. Can anyone from English speaking world also confirm this? --romanm (talk) 22:21, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

That would be salami tactics. I've added it as a "see also". — sjorford (talk) 21:46, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] " and is often hard to detect"

Its only hard to detect if your not looking for it. (Like many other scams) Jon 19:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

If "looking for" is comprised of tapping someone's phone, keylogging their computer, and also making employees hand over full access to their bank account, then I suppose that it wouldn't be hard to detect salami slicing.--71.112.0.150 17:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Evolution is Salami Slicing?

"Salami slicing" can (often pejoratively) refer to any practice of doing something in small parts to achieve something that would otherwise be impossible or extremely difficult

By this definition, biological evolution is a form of salami slicing. I find that fascinating. Maybe it needs to be a conscious effort on the part of a person.

[edit] Real examples

Are there any real cases of salami slicing? It doesn't look good that we have only fictional examples. --Apoc2400 09:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

• I think that I might be able to dig an example out of an old Reader's Digest book. I will take a look at some point. -- hitman012 20:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
