The World Championship of Competitive Eating of Ham Sandwiches
has been the object of protests by Jews, Muslims, and vegetarians.

I do not recall reading anything about crushing the sandwich being
done 'properly'. As far as I can tell, 'frisbieinst' may not even
have been formally introduced to the sandwich.

There is considerable literature concerning mayo squirt. I have found
it can be contained with the firm, confident application of the proper
convex surface.
The sandwich refused to state its ranking, probably out of
embareassment. But I felt the same amount of resistance as a 2200
pastrami that I encountered twenty years ago.

Sure but that all predates Feynman's revolutionary book _Surely you're
sitting on a sandwich, Mr Feynman!_ (1985) in which he conclusively proved
that securely wrapping a sandwich in multiple layers of clingfilm will
prevent mayo squirt in all but the most extreme cases of over-application.

Actually, the only reason for my post was to engage our 1-minute
Grandmaster "Ray Gordon" in a debate on whether "crushing" a sandwich
in 1 minute meant that you are also improving your "classical" sandwich
eating ability....

But Ray doesn't care about classical sandwich-eating (or `retard sandwich-
eating' as he calls it).

Or perhaps he's trying to solve the ancient mystery of eating a sandwich
in less than one minute without getting mayo on your upper lip.. I still
believe that it's solvable.

I've see how fast a bin a sandwich disappears into a bin. If I just
analyze how the bin does it, I will eventually be as fast and efficient
about it as the bin. Quite honestly when I watch how all the rest of
humanity eats sandwiches, I see that they are all pathetically slow
about it compared to a bin and that's why I know I will soon be faster
at that than any other human being.

Evidently, Ken Jones did *not* make David Richerby's assumption.
Otherwise, Ken Jones's question, 'Did you do it in 1 minute?',
would hardly make any sense because it usually takes much
less than one minute to sit down.

It does but it may require more than instantaneous sitting to properly
crush the sandwich.

Yes, and the method smacks of Soze's sort of cleverness. As David St.

Ah, then at least we can eliminate Kobayashi as a suspect in the
murder of Spinal Tap's drummer.
