Devoted to technical writing and technical writers

This is a funny read. McDonald's tries to patent the "Sandwich" and has filed for the method of making one using state of the art equipment. Let me share the entire text with you:

The 55-page patent, which has been filed in the US and Europe, covers the 'simultaneous toasting of a bread component'.

Garnishes of lettuce, onions and tomatoes, as well as salt, pepper and ketchup, are inserted into a cavity in a 'sandwich delivery tool'.

The 'bread component' is placed over the cavity and the assembly tool is inverted to tip out the contents. Finally, the filling is placed in the 'bread component'.

It explains: 'Often the sandwich filling is the source of the name of the sandwich; for example, ham sandwich.' (source)

 This is the lighter side of technical writing.
