"Saint Lawrence is said to have been martyred on a gridiron. During his torture Lawrence cried out "This side’s done, turn me over and have a bite." ["Assum est, inquit, versa et manduca."] This is the legend often quoted explaining why Lawrence is the Patron Saint of Comedians, butchers and roasters."--Sholem Stein |
