And they simply /must/ be cut diagonally.
Grilled cheeses do well by being Pythagorian.
I like to munch 'em along the hypotenuse.

Now i've done it! LOL. It must've been that "spongebath" (a surplus of ale)
that gave me the chutzpah to make that post. You see I was afraid to say
anything before and really was only lurking a short while and there had been
some really awful stuff but enough good stuff too. Defenses aside, all
points well taken. It'll only make me faster as they chase me out with
brickbats. See you!
