"the fellow with the pretzels gave him a blank look and then said, "I can't wait any longer. I'm hungry," and then proceeded to open the plastic container of pretzels by holding it with both his hands and using his teeth to rip the top off the container




This really cracked me up. Both my three year-olds were nagging me for pretzels SO BAD this morning that I gave in and tossed them the whole bag so I could drink my coffee in quiet. Of course, when my wife got out of the shower she wanted to brain me.

"Ask any parent if pretzels are a suitable breakfast food," she said.

Well, I'm a parent and I obviously think it's okay! No cholesterol, little fat. What more do you want from a breakfast food?

Thirty bites per second, I believe, is the limit that the human eye can perceive.

Heh -- your wife and mine could get together and compare stories. My kids are picky eaters so one day I finally asked them if they wanted a bologna sandwich for breakfast. They thought that was great and gulped it down, but my wife was not amused when she found out.

She doesn't mind giving them chocolate chip muffins for breakfast, but she gets mad if I offer them a brownie. What the heck's the difference?
