Who hasn't taken a juicy burger off the barbecue, placed a Bermuda onion, some ketchup, maybe a dollup of mustard on the patty, only to find the bun bottom wilting in his fingertips? The bun top only gets mangled by the fingertips of the eater. The bottom carries the weight of the burger, the bun, the eaters fingers, plus the grease from the meat itself. Halfway through eating the sandwich, the bun top looks like Grace Kelly; the bun bottom looks like Sam Kinison :lol:
ANSWER...... Would you believe with most of these questions, there's at least 2 pages of explanations? So, I'm narrowing it down..... The Bun Tops are, in fact, much more important from a marketing point of view. Nothing pleases a browser at the bakery shelf more than buns with a pronounced mushroom top. Because the mushroom top is above the shred line, bakers must decide between good looks and practicality when it comes time to slice the buns----- quess which one they choose. Then Peppereridge Farm, adds that "The flavor and texture of the bun comes from the top; therefore the top needs to be substantial in size"
To find out if a whole number is divisible by 1, well, all whole numbers are divisible by 1.
To find out if a whole number is divisible by 2, look at the last digit. If it's even, it's divisible by 2. If it's odd, it's not.
To find out if a number is divisible by 3, add the digits. If the sum is divisible by 3, the number is divisible by 3.
To find out if a number is divisible by 4, look at the last two digits. If they are divisible by 4, the number is divisible by 4.
To find out if a number is divisible by 5, look at the last digit. If it's a 5 or a 0, the number is divisible by 5.
To find out if a number is divisible by 6, apply the rules for 2 AND 3.
To find out if a number is divisible by 7, there are no shortcuts. Learn some math.
To find out if a number is divisible by 8, check the last three digits. If they are divisible by 8, the entire number is divisible by 8. Glad to be of assistance.
To find out if a number is divisible by 9, add the digits. If the sum is divisible by 9, the whole number is divisible by 9.
To find out if a number is divisible by 10, look at the last digit. If it's a 0, the number is divisible by 10.
Thanks for playing. Move to the head of the class.
Back in the old days when report cards were hand-written and not a computer printout, a simple stroke of the pen could turn a failing grade, F, into an excellence grade, E. The tempatation was just too great for some children. In Endicott N.Y the E, meant excellence. But in many school districts, it meant near failing.
A,B,C,D, and F were proformance grades. They would be used as grades of record, entered into school transcripts. The E, however, was a predictive comment, a sort of erly warning. While the E could be used on the report card at midterm, it could not be used as a semester grade; it had to be converted a final F on the final transcript. In other words, it was just a warning of possible failure, which in fact, the student would then just give up and think they were failing and not try to improve the grade. Then if the teacher tryed to give a D, then seeing the student slack off severely,then gave him an F, the student,(and often the parents would cry foul, for not issueing an E for warning :huh: So the E, was banished and everyone had to be retaught that the D was passing, but in danger of failing if work did not improve.

WHY Are Hamburger-Bun Bottoms so Thin? :huh:

Lake Superior is a magnet for tourists.
We have several tourist information booths around town.
I went to one, and in my best Stephen Wright voice, asked ...
"So ---- what can you tell me about some of the
tourists who have passed through here recently?"
:D

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2
item that she doesn't need, but it's on sale.

Well then, If you guys are so smart,
If sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, why are vacuums so noisy?
Why does a shipment go on a car and cargo go on a ship?
Why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?

If Wile E. Coyote could afford all that stuff from Acme, why didn't he just go out to eat?

When taking a multiplication test on 9's you can number one column:
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
Right Next to it number another column:
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
0
And there you have it - your 9's multiplied to 10!
