What the hell is with that image in the intro, with the smiling waiter?

Funnily enough, I recognize this image from The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" soundtrack liner notes (the image itself is from the movie). Why it's included in this article is lost on me.

Waiter delivers a shovel of spaghetti [code], client happy.

  Yeah I get that much (Sorry should have said so) I am trying to understand the real-life context.

    I suppose the same context as serving a drink in a jar.

    So the image is actually a link, but the page 404s. Putting it into the Wayback machine results in 63 snapshots, only the oldest of which (From 1998! It was gone in 2000!) has content: http://web.archive.org/web/19981206071543/http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/%7Eba116594/mmt.html http://web.archive.org/web/19981206071543/http://oak.cats.oh... No images though. However, I noticed down at the bottom this text: > All Beatles Images (c) Apple Corps Ltd. Page Design (c) 1997 jwinterprises Well... off to google? "Beatles shovel spaghetti" brings up multiple copies of this image, including an explanation: https://biteswiththebeatles.wordpress.com/2017/09/27/aunt-jessie-dreams-of-spaghetti/ https://biteswiththebeatles.wordpress.com/2017/09/27/aunt-je... > If you have ever owned a vinyl copy (or certain CD copies) of Magical Mystery Tour, you’ll know that it comes with a 28-page booklet containing song lyrics, drawings by cartoonist Bob Gibson, and scenes from the Magical Mystery Tour movie. > [..] > Yes, you looked at that correctly. That is John Lennon, dressed as an Italian waiter, literally shoveling buckets of spaghetti on this woman’s plate. You’re probably gonna want some context… (Edit: and if I only scrolled further I see someone else already posted that link)

  The important lesson being to do it with a big smile!
