That would be a waste of good ice cream. I'd suggest a cow patty.

I think this one has much better eye appeal even if it's not perfectly centered.

Do people obsessed with perfect centering notice minor asymmetries elsewhere in life?

I do but not quite to the extent I do on cards . But my peeve is more about the term 50/50 used where it shouldn't be. I wouldn't even use it on mine....though I might say it is close to 50/50.

ps...Barry- nice response.

I must therefore conclude that I am not really well centered and accept that as fact. I would maintain that you are not centered as well.

Obsess all you want about the centering of your cardboard, just don’t look in the mirror. You may be disappointed.

There is a heavy premium for OCD. Wait until they demand the back be centered as well.
