The only reason to bread any food is as a way to sell stale bread
(that otherwise would go in the compost heap) and to make it appear
larger... KFC got rich selling small chickens with enough breading to
make them appear like you're getting a bargain when in fact it's all
an illusion... when you buy KFC you are mostly getting a bucketful of
greasy crumbs and a bucket. Breaded shimp is an illusion... and that
you are a fool is a fact... next time you buy KFC save that bucket,
put it over your head so no one can see your imbecile headed point.
