The absolute worst pancakes, the utter bottom of the barrel, are the ones
cooked up and served by the U. S. Navy. They've got a magical power: When
you pour syrup on them, the syrup simply disappears, and the pancakes still
taste like sawdust. Now, clueless AOL newbie Sheldon "Pussy" Katz claims to
have been a cook in that selfsame navy, so maybe he can answer this: Pussy,
what do you *do* to make those pancakes so bad?
