• Mr. Gulliver : Do you know that we've developed a cheese sandwich that can withstand an impact of up to 4,000 pounds per square inch?

  Mr. Pither : You have?

  Mr. Gulliver : Amazing, isn't it. We've also developed a tomato which can eject itself when an accident is imminent.

  Mr. Pither : What, even when it's in an Egg and Tomato Roll?

  Mr. Gulliver : Anywhere. Even if it's in your stomach, it senses an accident, it'll come up your throat and out of the window. You know what this means?

  Mr. Pither : Safer food!

  Mr. Gulliver : Exactly. No longer will food be smashed, crush, and damaged by the ignorance and stupidity of the driver. Whole picnics will be built to withstand the most enormous forces. Snacks will be safer than ever. Uh, a simple pot of salad dressing, cheese, and olives has been subjected to the impact of a 4,000 pound steam hammer every day for the last 16 years, and has it broken?

  Mr. Pither : Well ah...

  Mr. Gulliver : Of course it has, but rather safer.
