It's the best thing

"It’s the best thing since sliced bread…”

You’ve got to wonder about that statement. Everything that gets applied to it doesn’t seem to stick. Let’s say that comes up about the cell phone. We’ll, if that was true, wouldn’t we then be saying “It’s the best thing since the cell phone.” No…instead we still use the sliced bread analogy. It’s like sliced bread has a lock on “the best” and is going for the record!

What’s the record? Not sure, but before sliced bread they were probably saying “It’s the best thing since the invention of the wheel.” It has to be. People keep trying to invent it!

Before the wheel they said, “It’s the best thing since fire”. Well, people living around the equator probably weren’t that impressed with fire actually but up North they were finally able to thaw out grandpa…boy was he pissed too.



Before fire, who knows? You could say sex…but this was before they invented ladies scented body wash or deodorant or razors or anything so I’m thinking not. Maybe they just didn’t have a best thing back then.
