Sandwich Emergency!

(Editors note: please welcome JT to the So Good mix, as he debuts with his first post).

This just in from Jacksonville, Florida…

“The sauce for a spicy Italian sandwich was apparently a must have for one Florida man. The man, Reginald Peterson, called 911 twice after a sandwich shop left off the sauce. Peterson initially called the emergency number Thursday so that officers could have his subs made correctly, according to a police report. The second call was to complain that police officers weren’t arriving fast enough.”

I think we have all been there on this one. For someone like me – who painstakingly assembles his sandwiches like a master craftsman forming a piece of art from a block of wood – this almost makes sense. Sitting down to enjoy a delicious meal, when you suddenly notice that something is off. Did I undertoast? Did the cheese melt just the right amount? Were dill pickles the way to go over bread and butter? Ahhâ€¦ THE SAUCE!!! The sauce is the lubrication that keeps the engine of a sandwich running, my friends – no small matter. I can therefore somewhat understand the dire circumstances of a sandwich lacking this crucial element. However, is 5-0 the answer? Probably not. I appreciate the creativity, but the fridge is probably the best bet – especially in my house.

*Aside: Please notice my restraint at the fact that the “sandwich shop” in question was a Subway, and I failed to represent my true feelings for the quality of the food they produce. I know, I am very strong.

*Aside 2: When I found this story, I could not get one thing out of my mind. Please enjoy.
