- Yes, but the sandwich is very consistent with Homer's character (and pretty
- funny IMHO - especially when marge found it begind the radiator). I felt
- that it fit OK and that the gags because of it were pretty funny (i.e. - Homer
- saying that Yentl sounded like a good movie and "cmon Marge, two more feet
- and it will fit in the fridge".)
