| | #5351 | | Seeing is deceiving. It's eating that's believing.
-- James Thurber
| | | #5352 | | So much food; so little time!
| | | #5353 | | Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in
the milk.
-- Thoreau
| | | #5354 | | The basic menu item, in fact the ONLY menu item, would be a food unit called
the "patty," consisting of -- this would be guaranteed in writing -- "100
percent animal matter of some kind." All patties would be heated up and then
cooled back down in electronic devices immediately before serving. The
Breakfast Patty would be a patty on a bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, egg,
Ba-Ko-Bits, Cheez Whiz, a Special Sauce made by pouring ketchup out of a
bottle and a little slip of paper stating: "Inspected by Number 12." The
Lunch or Dinner Patty would be any Breakfast Patties that didn't get sold in
the morning. The Seafood Lover's Patty would be any patties that were
starting to emit a serious aroma. Patties that were too rank even to be
Seafood Lover's Patties would be compressed into wads and sold as "Nuggets."
-- Dave Barry, "'Mister Mediocre' Restaurants"
| | | #5355 | | The black bear used to be one of the most commonly seen large animals
because in Yosemite and Sequoia national parks they lived off of garbage
and tourist handouts. This bear has learned to open car doors in
Yosemite, where damage to automobiles caused by bears runs into the tens
of thousands of dollars a year. Campaigns to bearproof all garbage
containers in wild areas have been difficult, because as one biologist
put it, "There is a considerable overlap between the intelligence levels
of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."
| | | #5356 | | The chicken that clucks the loudest is the one most likely to show up
at the steam fitters' picnic.
| | | #5357 | | The cow is nothing but a machine which makes grass fit for us people to eat.
-- John McNulty

SUPERMAN SAVES DESSERT!
Plans to "Eat it later"
| | | #5359 | | The early bird gets the coffee left over from the night before.
| | | #5360 | | The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through
three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry, and
Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For
instance, the first phase is characterized by the question "How can we eat?"
the second by "Why do we eat?" and the third by "Where shall we have lunch?".
-- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
