...and which leads to a followup speculation: how, exactly, would sandwiches dance?

 

A Cuban sandwich, presumably, would rumba.

A Dagwood probably steps on Blondie's feet.

Not sure about a po' boy... maybe a drunken stumble outside the bar at closing time?

To un-confuse @Tropicalsenior: The extra time is for "plant."

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

Reminds me of the Gary Larson cartoon where a dog is gloating to his (dog) friends that he is being taken to the vet to be tutored,   

Oh, lordy, I remember that one.  It was hilarious.

An interesting seder idea ...

I've seen Christmas dinners packed that way, on the "No Context Brits" Twitter feed. A perfect illustration of the aphorism that "just because you (ahem) can, doesn't mean you should."

On a completely unrelated note, my daughter just sent me this one:
