This one's almost worth all the broken promises.

I mean, at least now we know the exact monetary value of broken promises.

$2.99 per month. Science had been working on this for years but had only isolated it to the $2.75-$3.25 a month rage.

But here we are. Nailed it.

What is the monetary value of a child's birthday?

Onto less tedious matters...
I found this one a bit wordy, but these extended set-ups normally have a killer payoff.

The simile about the fat guy in a suit raises far more questions than it answers.

Did anybody see the cut sequence? If so, what does "laws and sausage" mean?

There's a saying that you don't really want to see how sausage is made, or how laws are passed, for the same reason: it's filthy and disgusting and might put you off the whole idea.

Men's potted meat product?  How is that distinguished from the more cosmopolitan, genderless variety?

Damn, I can remember when I first felt like how Lyle feels here.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to write that phrase because I doubt (hope) it'll ever happen again.

It's like Men's Pocky but meatier. Or "meat"-ier, anyway.

I think the point is that... I mean, you're only gonna eat potted meat either because you're starving or on a dare and...

Men are much more likely for food dares, making men much more likely to eat a potted meat product.

It is less saying that this is a men's VERSION of potted meat and more saying that it is just a product men are more likely to eat.

Because we don't think things through as well or as quickly, generally.

ALSO: the monetary value of a child's birthday has a simple formula, actually.

The number of people who'd feel obligated socially or genetically to give the child a gift TIMES the original purchase value of a fifty dollar savings bond.

There we go. Not so difficult.

I think a rip in space-time was induced by constructing a sentence containing "healthy", "potted meat", and "fried egg".
