Who Invented Toast?

When you think about it, toast is nothing more than burnt bread. A whole industry makes a unit just to burn bread, how smart is that? I wonder how it all happened?

"Hey, let's burn the bread and see how they like it," I don't think so.

I think that years ago, some guy was working in a restaurant kitchen, fixing breakfast for some customer, and some guy was working with him, not paying a lot of attention to what he was doing, set some bread down on the stove and forgot about it.

"Hey, dummy, you're burning the bread!"

"Oh, I'll throw it out and slice some more."

"Not enough time, is it bad?"

"No, it just turned color, a light brown."

"Is it hot."

"No, just warm, nice and toasty."

"Go ahead and cut it in half and put it on the plate, tell them it's just warm bread."

"That's not a good name, call it something else, how about we call it toasty?"

"No, too long, just call it TOAST."

And now, you know the rest of the story.

Kinda Cute

Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on their usual park bench one morning.

The 87-year-old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath.

The 80-year-old was amazed at his friend's stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy.

The 87-year-old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy level high and you'll also have great stamina with the ladies."

So, on the way home, 80-year-old stops at the bakery. As he was looking around, the lady behind the counter asked if he needed any help.

He said "Do you have any Rye bread?"

She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?"

He said, "I want 5 loaves."

She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves .. By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it'll be hard"

He replied, "I can't believe it, everybody knows about this but me."
