Hot dogs

[andysocial]

In the course of a completely random meandering talk with Kit (covering the NSA and Mountain Dew cans, Southern cooking and paperfolding), it came up that you buy flatware in settings for 4 (most of us do anyway - if you have "a pattern" you don't count), yet steak knives in sets of 6.

Hot dogs and buns. What is the point? I now have 8 sets of dishes except for steak knives. I guess I'm unlikely to be serving steak to more than 6 people, so I'll let it go. Otherwise, it ends at 24. Imagine buying 2 dozen sets of silverware just so you have an even number. Even I'm not that nuts.

I bet the Democrats are at the bottom of it all.

And here I was ready to blame the Trilateral Commission.

I think Steve Martin beat you to the punch here...
