Fair share

I slice the cake and you choose and that is fair. You slice the cake and I choose and that is fair. I slice the cake while you watch me and set the angle of my cut by the angle of your eyebrows. You slice the cake and keep hold of the knife while I choose, turning it this way and that. You wipe the blade with a napkin and I eat my little portion and agree, yes, this is fair.
