What do you want on your Tombstone?
Here's a little insight into why I may be completely insane within the next five years:
I've spent an inordinate amount of time over the past few weeks obsessing over the fact that there's always 19 slices of pepperoni on every Tombstone pizza I buy. While I'm a big fan of consistency (I fear change), it's the number itself that bothers me. First of all, I like to arrange the pepperoni in a way that makes it easier to cut when the pizza's done cooking. I arrange them the exact same way every time so that there when I cut the pizza into six pieces there will be three pepperoni slices on each piece.
3 X 6 = 18
19 - 18 = 1
I don't really mind that one piece gets an extra pepperoni. Well...maybe I do, but that's not the real issue here. If they're going to put the same number of pepperoni slices on every single pizza they make, why the hell would they use a fucking prime number? We only have one child right now (who has yet to learn the joys of pizza), but what happens when we have two children. I know it's just one extra slice, but I also know I fought with my sister over every extra piece of anything. It had nothing to do with wanting the extra item but had everything to do with wanting MORE than she had. I don't care if it was french fries or Chicken Pox...if we both had some I wanted more of them. Period.
So again, the prime number thing. It's really pissing me off. Are they deliberately trying to fuck with people?
Tombstone Maker 1: How many pepperoni slices should we put on each pizza?
Tombstone Maker 2: I don't care, but whatever we decide it should be a prime number.
Tombstone Maker 1: Why's that?
Tombstone Maker 2: Because a prime number isn't divisible by any number besides one and itself.
Tombstone Maker 1: ...
Tombstone Maker 2: Think about it...no matter how the customers try to arrange the pepperoni, it'll be impossible for them to distribute the slices evenly to each piece of pizza. MWUAHAHAHAHAHA...BRILLIANT!!!
Jodi suggested I write a letter, but I'm not going to because I don't want to have to explain what a prime number is to Mr. Tombstone or whoever runs that company. Don't ask...it's a sensitive issue. Let's just say that 1 is NOT a prime number and leave it at that. OK?
Later.
