Terrific Toast Tid-bits

piece of toast

Toast crumbs in the bed are natures way of telling you to clean the sheets.

Toast. It's one of the best inventions since sliced bread. In fact, it's the reason sliced bread was invented. Probably.

But you don't see many monuments to it, do you. No large bronzed pieces of toast in the middle of a park.

Then again, there are no monuments to sliced bread either, which is weird, if you think about it, since it's the invention by which all others are measured. But that's another story.

Anyway, in order to rectify the situation, this month, we take a look at some terrific things about toast that you never knew.

  • A watched toaster never 'pops', but closing your eyes doesn't seem to speed things up either.
  • People have double standards about toast. Toast really just dries out bread, but people don't complain when you serve toast. Serve dry bread, though, and you've got a whole other story.
  • Toasting day-old bread makes it fresh, but toasting day-old children kills them
  • Toasted bread is good; roasted bread is not.
  • You don't toast people with toast.
  • In fact, you don't actually toast the person at all.
  • Serving peanut butter on toast after a hot date that goes exceptionally well, is acceptable. Serving it while on the hot date is guaranteed to make it go exceptionally poorly.
  • If you take a lot of drugs, you're toasted, but if you toast a lot of drugs, you've just wasted them.
  • The world is divided into three kinds of people: those who prefer toast hot; those who prefer toast cold, and those who skip breakfast.
  • Dr Seuss' unpublished sequel to The Cat In The Hat is Back was A Roast on The Coast is Served on Toast.
  • Toast is socially acceptable for dinner only on Sunday nights.

  • Toast is not an end in itself. It is a means to an end. And that end is to serve up cinnamon sugar. To get the maximum amount of cinnamon sugar, you must 1. Toast until the bread is warm and light brown, but not too crisp. 2. Use margarine, not butter. Margarine sits on surface of the toast and allows more cinnamon sugar to be absorbed. 3. Apply cinnamon sugar until it's absorbed by the melting butter, and then add just a little bit more loose on top. Obviously, the toast shouldn't be cut, or the precious cinnamon sugar will be lost. 4. While eating, begin toasting the second piece of toast.

    Sexy clown [7 Jan 2003]
  • Hey, that buttered toast on the cat's back doesn't make sense! If the toast is on the cat's back and you drop the cat, the cat will land on it's feet and the toast will stay well off of the floor beacuse it's on the cat's back. Therefore no matter how much tikka masala you use nor how white the carpet is, the cat never float in mid-air! What you really need to do is suspend the toast, buttered-side-down from the cat's belly so that it is hanging at the exact same height at the bottom of the cat's feet (ie. at floor level when the cat is standing). That way, when the cat is dropped and just before it lands (on it's feet) the repelling force of the buttered toast will cause the cat to levitate.

  • You notice that your boss is stealing office supplies.
    D Seebs [7 Jan 2003]
  • If you're trying to impress somebody, i.e. a new girl/boyfriend or a visiting dignitary, cut your toast diagonally. It's far more sophisticated, and it can be thrown like a boomerang.

  • You can`t put toast in the toaster only bread.
    queenie [27 Apr 2004]
  • When the toast is done, a small spring in the toaster pops the toast out. If you increase the power of the spring sufficiently, you can turn the toaster into a rocket launcher. Bread is cheaper than rockets, so ammunition is inexpensive. You are only restricted by the length of the electric cord connecting your toaster to an outlet. You can then threaten to "toast" other people with your combination toaster/rocket launcher unless they give you their bread and toast. Then you threaten MORE people, and get THEIR bread and toast, and then... and then...!
