Toastie

I've never bought a toasted sandwich from a takeaway place. I've never understood the appeal. But at the local takeaway today (buying fish & chips) I found something else that I don't understand about them. Toasted sandwiches are sold there with one base filling and additional fillings at extra incremental prices. That bit I do comprehend. But why is it that the price of a bacon toasted sandwich with an egg extra filling costs thirty cents more than an egg toasted sandwich with bacon extra filling.

So all you toasted sandwich aficionados, is this something intrinsic to the nature of the beast or have I just got a local takeaway that would send forex dealers into ecstasy?

My number geek inclinations have may have shaken me out of my blog fatigue.

For reasons not unrelated to the next episode of Top Gear I googled the phrase "passes through the andes". It gets 451,000 hits. I then googled the more specific phrase "not many passes through the andes". The second phrase search results must be a subset of the first right? I mean the first phrase is completely contained in the second - it must be more general - right? Yet the second phrase gets 2,220,000 hits.

How can that be??? Confusion.

Before you start wondering, I did work out the answer. It makes a really big difference whether you do that search with or without the quote marks. I did it without. The mental fogginess that gave me that confusion is the reason for the blog fatigue.

Must get some rest.
