Pot-Ready Spaghetti

Normally, making spaghetti involves breaking the noodles in half. If you don’t, it ends up looking like this:

Because the noodles are longer than the pot is wide.

But someone realized that there is no reason for all spaghetti noodles to be that long, since people usually break them for cooking or cut them for eating. So grocery stores are now selling these:

That’s right – pot-ready spaghetti.

It’s the same amount of spaghetti as usual, just twice as many noodles and half as long.

But that got be thinking – there must be another way to solve this problem. And there is!

It’s the spaghetti-ready pot.

Why do the noodles have to change? Why can’t the pot change?

Speak a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Put on the pot, put it on and also pour water in it;”‘
