The Simpsonian Rite

Simpson's restaurant in Bird-in-hand court, Cheapside, Loudon, which recently announced that all French wines were off its list because of the Dreyfus case, was established in 1823 and is known as the Olde Fishe Shoppe. It has a daily ritual as famous as the pudding at tho Cheshire Cheese at the Table of the Fathers at Carr's. The Simpsonian rite is the guessing of the cheese. Daily a new Cheddar is put on the table, and to each diner is given paper, on which he writes his guess of its height, weight and girth. Then, with reverent ceremony, the president weighs and measures the cheese.
