Roomie got home from work, so I decided to make bacon-egg-cheese muffins. I tried to put three half-slices of bacon on her muffin, and she said ‘That’s too much bacon!’
I understand the words individually, but I don’t understand the meaning when arranged in that order.
I’d have grabbed the muffin and jammed it into her face, rubbing it violently until she was driven to the floor, covered in muffin crumbs, with the faint smell of bacon lingering on her face.
I’d toss the egg and cheese on her, then top her off with the other muffin half.
I’d eat the bacon as I stepped over her and walk away.
I could see my wife saying this, because she is currently going to Weight Watchers and meticulously counting her “points”. One piece of bacon is something like four points, and she only gets 29 a day. But unless you are dieting or a vegan, I agree with the Johnny - that just makes no sense.
I sort of agree with the roommate. Bacon is like cheese, in that a little bit makes (almost) everything better, but you can in fact have too much cheese or bacon, at which point you’ve made everything worse. A lot of bacon could easily make something too salty or fatty to be palatable anymore.
I will say, though, that 3 slices of bacon never equals “too much.” Three half-slices is over on the “not enough” side of the spectrum.
