Tracy – we men may spill many things, but bacon is generally not one of them.

That’s because men regard the process of using bacon in cooking as a Leontief process: basically a production technology in which inputs (in this case, bacon) always enter in fixed proportions to produce a unit of output (in this case, satisfaction).

Thus, the input that poses a binding constraint (bacon) determines the amount of output (satisfaction) to be produced.

We value this output, and so we carfully maximise the input.

Now, breadcrumbs, non-bacon foodscraps, and drinking containers we spread pretty much well randomly. But NOT bacon.

Smells good too…there was another add in the same series where a guy’s frying up some Kiwi Bacon, and he’s savouring the smell so much that his nose gets closer and closer to the hot pan, until he he burns it and lets out a very high pitched squeel. But I can’t find it on the internet.

>># Apply the bacon like a man

You mean only put 1/2 of it on the pizza and scatter the rest on the counter?

Jeffrey: Great link.

It’s best that the Bacon and Goat Cheese aren’t organic. Otherwise, how else is that pretentious Amy wench ever gonna learn. Besides, we could all use 1000 extra calories…right?
