This story about a cheese sandwich bearing the image of the Virgin Mary (looks more like Lillian Gish to me) reminded me of The Spanish Infanta's eyes.
Percy: My Lord...
Edmund: Yes, what is it?
Percy: You know, they do say that the Infanta's eyes are more beautiful than
������ the famous Stone of Galveston.
Edmund: Mm! ... What?
Percy: The famous Stone of Galveston, My Lord.
Edmund: And what's that, exactly?
Percy: Well, it's a famous blue stone, and it comes (points dramatically)
������ from Galveston.
Edmund: I see. And what about it?
Percy: Well, My Lord, the Infanta's eyes are bluer than it, for a start.
Edmund: I see. And have you ever seen this stone?
Percy: (nods) No, not as such, My Lord, but I know a couple of people who
������ have, and they say it's very very blue indeed.
Edmund: And have these people seen the Infanta's eyes?
Percy: No, I shouldn't think so, My Lord.
Edmund: And neither have you, presumably.
Percy: No, My Lord.
Edmund: So, what you're telling me, Percy, is that something you have never
������� seen is slightly less blue than something else you have never seen.
