“You’re the octopus that I’m having for breakfast,” Bezos said. “When I look at the menu, you’re the thing I don’t understand, the thing I’ve never had. I must have the breakfast octopus.”

Every time I read this, the first thing that pops into my head is “so you’re going to chew us up, and shit us out the next morning as an unremarkable brown mass?”
