I was at a diner picking up some lunch, when I glanced over and saw a casually-dressed (yellow, shortsleeve shirt with a button-down collar, and jeans) man finishing his breakfast. He was eating his bacon with his fingers. I noticed it because I eat bacon with a fork.
I’ll dredge my bacon in the syrup if I’m eating pancakes. Only I still do it with the fork. Maybe it’s some Naval Etiquette i picked up from dad. Officers were expected to eat even fried chicken with a knife and fork.
Where it then teeters, then falls into your syrup, spotting your tie and costing you that promotion. This intensifies your financial woes, leading your wife to divorce you, your kids to become drug addicts and hookers, and generally bringing about Global Thermonuclear War, or the return of the Democrats to power, whichever you feel is worse. Just isn’t worth it, man. Use your fingers!
Hey, I even posted to that one! Ah, well. Getting older, short term memory loss… To clarify my post in the other thread: I eat bacon with a fork. If I’m not eating, but doing something else (e.g., cooking the rest of breakfast) I’ll pick up a piece of bacon with my fingers from the paper towels they’re on. But if I’m eating, then it’s the fork.
