Pizza companies in distress?

That must have been a LOOONG time ago. Either that or he wasn't very
good at math...

That's funny! They didn't "make" the pizza dough--it came
already made and portioned out for them. The toppings were
bought in bulk and pre-chopped or whatever. I guess you
haven't been in a chain pizza store before.

So I guess that stuff was all free, right? No cost? I gave you
numbers you talk **** in return. I've been in more pizza shops
than your whole family.

What I see is that if someone has the balls to disagree with you,
you go ballistic (pun intended).

Your vision is as clouded as your math skills, your common sense and
your understanding of business. Your initial statement is so
desperately preposterous as to boggle the mind of any rational person.
The *toppings* on a pizza cost 12 cents, you say now. Right.

I worked for Pepsico as a consultant when they owned Pizza Hut
and spent a lot of time with calculators. It's what I was hired
for. That was a while back, so my numbers are probably low. If
you and your obviously mathematically crippled son actually
believe that the costs were only 12 cents, you're as stupid as
you're showing yourself in this thread.

I didn't say "the costs were 12 cents." I said that he told me the
toppings averaged that. Maybe he was pulling my leg.

And you're too obtuse to have seen through it? And you posted it to a
group where people are rather food-knowledgeable? And you expected no
one to say any thing?

But, you obviously have a crippled brain if you can't take a little
disagreement without becoming savagely irrational.

Look, dimbulb. A second's reflection should tell you that 12 cents is
absurd beyond any credit of belief. Cheese. Sauce. Pepperoni.
Mushrooms. Ham. Can you for one instant actually try to convince
anyone that any of them individually could possibly cost 12 cents?

If not, why are you persisting in embarrassing yourself by staying in
the thread? Why haven't you simply said that you were mistaken and the
kid needs some remedial math work?

I gave you real world numbers. Rather than accept them or contradict
them or correct them, you continue being stupid and attacking me. The
plain fact is that there's no condition where it could even remotely
be the case that your 12 cents can be even a distant approximation of
reality.

So if there was no dough in the list (means it was free) and the
ingredients were all pre-done and obviously free and he didn't
calculate secondary costs (more free stuff), what was the 12
cents for? The box it comes in? Oh, wait. That was about 40
cents.

I guess you can't read. I didn't say there was NO dough or that the
dough was free. I said that he told me the toppings.....
toppings.... toppings! And, that last time I looked, toppings
didn't include dough or boxes.

Right. Toppings. So you say now.

But your original post said:

he figured up how much the ingredients cost for a large pizza, and
it was 12 cents.

So now you've changed your story to try to bail yourself out of your
own silliness. But it wasn't "toppings," it was "ingredients."

But, in any event, do you never buy things in grocery stores? Have you
never bought cheese? Have you never bought a tomato? Ham? How on god's
green earth could they cost 12 a mere cents for a whole large pizza?

You were wrong at the beginning, you compound it by talking this
kind of crap. Better to simply shut up and stop proving your
infirmities.

And you are an Ahole in the max. Better to shut up and stop proving
your lineage.

Right. People who have been shown to be superficial twits who are
utterly wrong often post things like that. It's the old "last shot on
the way out the door" approach.

Here it is plain. You talked crap. And you still are.

If you're going to blow smoke about other people not meeting your made-up
standards, at least document the standard they're being judged against.
Otherwise, it's just more of your vacuous potshots from the shadows.


The point, which you will not be able to understand, is that the standard
keeps shifting, therefore teachers will never be able to meet it.

BS. You made no such point in your quote above. You're backpedalling in
your usually dishonest way.

If you have a point, make it. Don't expect others to go cranium spelunking
for it. If you can't be bothered to take the time to express your ideas
clearly, don't expect others to guess at them.

Have a nice day.


Don't be upset because you can't get it.

It's not your fault.

Blame it on genetics.

You know, I noticed the billboard of a local Domino's Pizza yesterday
sporting the message "Hot wings - no carbs".

I'm not making this up.


Well they're lying about their carbs. My book says dominoes has 1 carb
per wing

Competition is stiff and that's why the delivery guys (Domino, Papa John, etc.)
offer sodas and wings and stuff. Since they don't have dining rooms to worry
about, their facility and service labor costs are reduced so they can give more
for your buck.

More crap, though; their pizzas aren't very good. At least Domino's
aren't; I threw one out after ONE bite in the days *before* lc. Pizza
should be very simple; theirs are all larded up with busheney.

LOL Agreed. You get a *lot* of crap for your money.

What's busheney?

But, yes. Somehow good bread with a little something tasty on top has
become a lot of stuff with a little not-too-good bread underneath.

Bush-Cheney = Busheney
Interpret from context. ;-)

I looked around, and it comes from a book called "The Slippery Slope"
by Lemony Snicket. Here's a link to an excerpt:
http://www.lemonysnicket.com/excerpt_slippery.html

In it the term Busheney appears:

Papa John's is quite similar to Domino's but even worse. We went there
once and never returned. Icky, ptooey!
