The "flying cheese wedge" UFO.  From UFO Newsclipping Service, 1982.

Here's a rhetorical question nearly answered, and it offers a delightful bonus: whenever someone says, "What more could anyone want?" or the like, you can say (or merely think to yourself, so as to leave the rhetorical question nearly answered), "Three kinds of cheese, bread, figs, grapes, and honey."

Which is funnier: "mustard and cheese" or "cheese and mustard"?

As we told literary scalawag Johnathan Caws-Elwitt, we'd go with "Mustard and Cheese" over "Cheese and Mustard."  To our ear and imagination, the two syllables of mustard at the end are like two legs to stand on -- there's stability there.  We see a cube of cheese sitting atop a wide jar of mustard -- it's a firm situation, like a food pyramid.  But the two syllables of mustard atop a single-syllabled cheese cube -- it's teetering before we can even type it out!  The pyramid is upside down.  It might even be spinning on its tip as it teeters.  To those who would imagine cheese slices securely bonded with mustard mortar, we can say but this: "If only you could see what we see."  Mustard & Cheese: the Morecambe & Wise of the deli.
