Do use your imagination, Bert! You pick up a freshly prepared fried egg (and bacon - mustn't forget the bacon) sandwich or roll and bite enthusiastically into said steaming aromatic delicacy. Almost every time the yolk will burst explosively, squirting runny yolk over your shirt, sweater or string vest. The immediate reaction is to hoist the sarnie to the side with one hand while brushing yolk (unsuccessfully) from your attire. It is at this moment the stance adopted is most reminiscent of the player of a stringed instrument from which the name is derived.

I do hope that's clear...
I got it.

But I would cook the egg a bit more, so the yolk was done too. No need to be a slob when one is a millionaire, eh?

And I would add a slice of sharp cheddar cheese.

Oh, and the bread needs to be toasted, and the sammich given a few moments on each side after the stackup is completed.

One last bit.

I didn't see any bacon in that video.

My banjo would have bacon.

To make that sammich without bacon is a crime.

There's a bloke* who unicycled across Canada last year... of course those guys that do things like that use the big wheels, such as 36":

Very impressive. But I have to ask: "Why?"

LOL

That reminds me of what I think is the second greatest thread ever.
I had a cheese sandwich - PentaxForums.com

You don't need to read the whole thread to get the story. Post 4 and posts 66, through 68 should do it
That cheese sammie thread lived on for a good three years. Pretty impressive.

Indeed.

But it's still a 'no' from me on the ramen.

Because I had it around and I didn't think to make eggs and bacon at 2:30pm.

If the yolk is set, it’s not a banjo; but I couldn’t find a video where bacon was included. Obviously one of the YouTube shortcomings. MUST HAVE BACON!!!
