The way civilized people do it.

Sliced bread. It’s one of the worst inventions of all time. I hate sliced bread. I want no part of it. I want unsliced bread. So that I can slice it to my desired thickness. At whatever time I want. But in America, I often have difficulty finding unsliced bread. It’s pre-sliced. We Americans have something far less than the best bread in the world. And that’s partly due to it coming sliced. In Italy, I hardly ever see a loaf of sliced bread in the stores. Italians know better. Bread shouldn’t be sliced. Actually, many Italians don’t even slice bread on the table. Instead, they pull it out of the loaf in chunks. By hand. That’s the way civilized people do it. –Jim Broede
