LOL!  This reminds me of a funny story my employer told me.  (He has a 
sense of humor like yours, Ed.)  He and his wife were on vacation 
somewhere in the Polynesian islands.  The hotel served free breakfast in 
an area off the lobby.  You know the setup; a waffle maker with batter 
(make your own waffle), scrambled eggs in trays and of course, trays of 
cooked bacon.  Apparently this establishment put slices of toasted 
(probably stale) bread underneath the bacon to soak up the grease.  The 
bacon ran out and they hadn't replenished it yet.  But the toast that 
had soaked up the bacon grease was still in the tray.  Some guy saw the 
bread and helped himself to a couple of slices.  He was like "Oh, man, 
this toast is great!"  My employer chimed up and told him "It's 
Polynesian Toast."  The man believed him.  He asked an attendant who was 
restocking the breakfast area if he could get more "Polynesian Toast".
