He smiles at me, squeezes my hand and says, "Look over there. Do you see the person taking the cooled loaf of bread, slicing it into straight, even slices, and then placing it in a plastic bag? Is it now a loaf of bread?" I answer, "Yes, but what are you trying to tell me?" He looks at me, smiles, and replies, "It smells good in here, doesn’t it?"
