Honey Wheat Bread

I'm enjoying a sandwich the other day (it was delicious should you care to know) and I'm staring at my Kroger-brand loaf of honey wheat bread. I'm not sure what possessed me--but I wondered how many slices were in a typical loaf. So I counted--I know you're on the edge of your seat... My count revealed 21 slices.

21! 21! Let that number sink in. It's an odd number for crying out loud. Now I know there's some toast eaters out there, but the most frequent users of bread have got to be those who enjoy a good sandwich. You know where I'm going, don't you? 2 slices for every sandwich....so why, for the love of turkey and cheese, do they give us an odd number of slices in each loaf?

How can we solve the big problems in this world when we can't take care of these simple matters...
