    Dear god, that does sound like heaven. Ham is a big downfall for me, i’m a total addict. Especially shaved ham.

    now my mouth is watering and it’s not even close to lunch, UGH!

    Excellent question JPAbad. I used my ruler.

    The ruler is accurate to the 16th of an inch, but I measured it haphazardly. So I would say the tolerance should be about plus/minus a quarter inch.

    I would re-measure. But I ate the test subject. Because, as Dan illustrates, Ham is a weakness for everyone.

    The thing that I find questionable, though, is that you said ‘2.5 inches of meat’. Your
    picture barely shows 2.5″ INCLUDING bread. So, that sounds a little sketchy, my friend.
    Also, if 1/4″ is your tolerance, I think that you should declare your measurement as 2.50″,
    remember, sig figs are your friend!

    Tim, Bravo. You are extremely observant.

    Via the magic of Microsoft Paint Brush:

    But I must correct you: Sig Figs are most definitely NOT my friend. Need I remind you of the incident where I calculated the spring constant of our Gillette support bar to be able to withstand 9 billion pounds? Sig Figs are most definitely NOT my friend.

    Haha, that’s right. I forgot about that calc.
    Too bad we didn’t make it with the material properties of ham. That thing would have been tough!
