Careful With That Axiom, Eugene

Just this morning, while making my breakfast, I came up with a new axiom. Or maybe it's a maxim. Or an adage. Yes, I think it's more proper to call it an adage. I'm not changing the title of this entry though. Shame to waste a good pun. Anyway... it is this:
The finest bread will not always make the best toast.
Please discuss in terms of appropriate usage or possible ways of fine-tuning the verbiage. And please feel free to start dropping it into your conversations. Remember to adopt the proper sagely tone, like this: "Ah yes, but remember [here you can raise an index finger for effect]: The finest bread will not always make the best toast." Yes, that should do it.

Let's see if this baby finds its way into the popular consciousness. It's like dropping an 'adage in a bottle' into the ocean of language. heh heh. Let's see where it ends up.
