What wouldn't be improved by......
 
As I was picking green beans tonight, I really wished there was a cup/beer can holder right there in the vines, part of the assortment of stakes.... I have previously wished for one on my mower. But a bajillion years ago, I thought my kids stroller handle was a really stupid place for one because of the risk of spilling possible hot liquid on the baby......

Earlier in the day, I wished for cheese on my lunch. I remember a thread on here about the addition of sharp cheddar making everything better. But I remembered I had once been somewhere where extra cheese was a menu option, and I thought "if ever there was something you wouldn't want extra cheese on....."

So, what WOULDN'T be improved by adding.......

1) a cup holder
2) cheese
3) the company of a cat or dog
4) googly eyes
5) humor
6) a smile
7) an outlet and charging station
8) a lolcat caption
9) a write-in option
10) __________________

The Apollo spacecraft would not be improved by adding a cup holder. You can't use cups to drink liquid in space. You don't want to drink before launch, you'd probably vomit it up. There's not much room in the capsule, so it would have to be retractable; then it would never be swung out and used. But it would have to be highly engineered, and tested, so it would add to the cost of the project, for no good purpose.

I'm honestly failing to think of anything that wouldn't be improved by googly eyes.

A corpse at a funeral.

A cat would be improved with googly eyes

Actual eyeballs would not be improved by googly eyes. The glue would make you scream and you'd lose all adorableness right off the bat. Eyelids is the closest you could get.

I'm not sure there's anything edible (and Western) that can't be improved by Tabasco. Oh and cheese. Except cornflakes.

What the heck were you being served which wouldn't have been approved by cheese?
Oh, rereading, you did write "extra" cheese. So maybe it was already at the cheese-limit.

And I'd still alway rather have a cat than not, UT. Even in space. Imagine how cute it would look in zero-g? I've dealt with another person's child having a poop explosion so extreme I had to wash his shoes out. I can float about with a net after a cat.

Googly eyes would also be inappropriate at most crime scenes.

There's a cheese limit?
