Classic old joke:
Guy comes into a bakery, asks for a birthday cake, but has very specific instructions: it has to be German chocolate, with rich, creamy chocolate frosting. Also he wants it in the shape of an 'S', he's very insistent on that.
And he's gonna stand there and wait until his cake is ready, so they have to make it NOW!
So the baker mixes all the ingredients, pours it into pans, and while it bakes, with the guy watching him closely, he expertly prepares the frosting. Once the cake is done baking, he takes it out, and sculpts out the S shape, using frosting to hold it together. He then covers it in frosting, gives it a nice, professional looking texture, adds some icing rosettes, and even fashions a rose out of frosting.
The baker then presents the cake to the customer, to get his approval. "Is the'S' shape to your liking?"
The guy says it looks great! So the baker brings out a cake box to pack the cake, but the customer stops him: "Don't bother boxing it. I'll be eating it here!"
I don't get it, why the s shape?
Honestly this far into the male loneliness epidemic, it reads less like a joke and more like a sad night for Sam.
I think the joke is that you wouldn't expect someone to eat the cake immediately and all of the baker's work making it look good is largely wasted. Why not just make a normal sheet cake? This doesn't work as well because the original post primed us all to think about eating a cake by ourselves.
it's the cool S. what more reason need we?
