At Burger King, I discovered a new breakfast menu item: the 1 dollar Hamlette.
Ok, the bk.com site is not so working properly so I can't get you a link. BK needs to fix the site!
This is a egg and cheese sandwich with ham, sort of like a omelette with ham on a bun. It is smaller than the classic croissant. The crossiant is a hefty item, so the hamlette's size is right. The price of $1 is also so right.
How many people notice the name sounds like the Shakespeare classic Hamlet? Sounds like a smaller form of Hamlet. The suffix -let is also used in java applets, portlets, and piglet in the Winnie-the-Pooh world.
"To be or not to be, that is the question. "
Why is this line so famous? I don't know.
Today, Shakespeare stuff seems lengthy babbling in obselete language. It is so hard to make students enjoy this stuff. So Hamlet has a bad uncle who killed his dad and married his mom.... Hamlet saw the dad's ghost and seeked revenge, or was he obsessed with mom marrying his uncle? I never fully understand this thing (and have little intension to).
The also related classic Algebra 1 joke equation for that line is solving for x in x2 = 4b2.
Of course, it is +2b or -2b: 2 b. or not 2 b.
