Quote of the Hour: Three Times

We went to Burger-Chief, which was introducing a new Swiss-steak sandwich. Uncle Mel had read an advertisement in the newspaper and wanted to try it. It was close to uneatable. It was sort of a toy steak. It looked like a piece of meat, but I couldn't tell what it was. It was on a toy roll that looked like a real roll with a crust and little seeds, but it was all stamped from one piece of something or other. Uncle Mel didn't like the steak sandwich either. He only ate three. He says you can never be sure if you like something until you've had it three times.
