The PB&J not spread to the outer edges of the bread slices. Out of focus.

Engineers are obsessed with making the simple complicated. (As a former scientist, I, to, plead guilty.) Reminds me of the time Thomas Edison hired a newly minted engineer fresh out of college. He asked the engineer to calculate the volume of a light bulb. After a week of assiduous measurements and calculations he presented his results to Edison. Edison took the bulb, immersed it in a large graduated cylinder, and broke the tip off the glass bulb. The vacuum sucked water into the bulb, Edison removed the bulb from the cylinder, and read how much water had filled the bulb. Edison: "Your measurements were pretty darned close. Congratulations."

Engineers should always have their drawings checked before issue. Where is says "SEE NOTE 2" it should read "SEE NOTE 3".

Definitely out of focus and these 'rocket scientists' don't know PB & J is spread to the edges

1-No parts list;
2-Shouldn't have an "assembly" with separate components. Usually have at least an assembly drawing and a detail part drawing.
Funny regardless.

The edges of the bread are left empty because compression of the top slice against the bottom will provide the pressure needed to spread the filling to the edges of the bread. I'll have to consult my college physics textbook for the exact formula.

Vegemite is to you guys what Peanut butter and "jelly" yeeeuuuurrrk, shudder, is to Australians.
I like both peanut butter and "jelly" ("jam" or "conserve" down here)... but together in the one sandwich... revolting.
My Grandmother, bless her wonderful soul, used to make me peanut butter and honey (together)
sandwiches when I was about 6 years old... I always dutifully ate them, but never liked the combination...
the semi mixed textures and sickly flavour is indelibly etched into my memory.
Having said that, the honey and peanut butter sandwiches
were no doubt great food for a six year olds growing,
and particularly energy requirements... Thanks Nanna.
I remember after eating one of those sandwiches; running around the yard with my
arms outstretched, vocalizing BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, pretending to be a Cessna.

Years ago I read SF short story(ies) about engineers. They were great, but I can’t recall the author or names of the stories. If any of you know of this, your help would be greatly appreciated.

As a scientist/engineer all my life this is the most delicious looking sandwich I've ever seen.
