...when I'm eating fries I set aside some of the longest ones and eat all of the shorter ones first. If I'm very bored I line them all up and eat them strictly in length order

I noticed when I skim, I jump to the middle of the page and then work upwards. After reading one/two sentences, I go the 3/4 of the page and do same.

Unlike most people I know who read material and then try to solve a problem, I read the problems and then work backwards.

I believe eating the runny yolk last is an unwritten law.

I also eat the least favorite parts of my meal first so that I end with the best. I'll eat the crust off of my sandwich first so that I can savor the inside.

Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.

Trick is, if you eat best parts last, you feel their taste after the meal (say, before coffee). That's much better than the opposite version.

Yep but you need to save the right amount of bacon and toast. Dip toast, add part of a bacon strip, bite. Repeat with some toast wiping motion until plate is clean. You should be able to clean the yolk off your plate without anything left over.

Best done with a Roger yolks.

Life is too short; don't eat the bad parts.
