Happiness is a sammich

The MLT, mutton lettuce and tomato, is notably missing.

Happiness is how far one can go on nothing more than lubricated imagination

Should but his muse descending drop

A slice of bread and mutton chop,

Or kindly, when his credit's out,

Surprise him with a pint of stout;

Exalted in his mighty mind,

He flies and leaves the stars behind.

-- Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Happiness is mutton chops

 

 

 Old Cross condemns all persons to be fops,

That can't regale themselves with mutton chops.

-- William King, The Art of Cookery, in imitation of Horace's Art of Poetry (Humbly inscrib'd to the Honourable Beef Steak Club), 1708

Happiness is true love, or a nice MLT

Clip here:

True love is the greatest thing in the world, except for a nice MLT . . . mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
