Words of the Wise (Feb 18); Economic crisis over Subs!

Before I proceed I would like to announce that the word for "a sandwich that is long and on a bun" is highly debated, some folks call them, "Submarine Sandwiches". Others who are to lazy to say "Submarine sandwiches" just say "Sub" or "Subs", if you come from Philly you say "Hogies". I have even herd them referred to as a "Superman Sandwich" this of course has nothing to do with the popular comic/cartoon "Superman" all use of the name "Superman" is Travis Fantina's views and do not necessarily blah blah blah.

Now that is over with I would like to regale everybody with my personal problems; It all began one day when I walked in to my local sub shop, the shop will remain nameless, but let me assure you it was not a "mom and pop sub shop" it was a huge chain and I can assure you that you have one in your town. Now I was pretty hungry and so when I came across this sub shop, I wanted something to eat. So I went in and said to the guy;

Me: "guy, gimmey a sub"

Guy: "what kind would you like?'

Me: "ham, lettuce, tomato, provolone, olive oil, vinegar, roost beef, Swiss , pickle, anchovies but go light on em, Mayo, beats, gravy, pepper, salt, mushrooms (Chinese), radishes, carrots, olives, more pickle, a small assortment of dried fruit, a cherry on top, and I would like it on toasted white bread."

Guy: "Could I have that again?"

Me: "You bet ham, lettuce, tomato, provolone, olive oil, vinegar, roost beef, Swiss , pickle, anchovies but go light on em, Mayo, beats, gravy, pepper, salt, mushrooms (Chinese), radishes, carrots, olives, more pickle, a small assortment of dried fruit, a cherry on top, and I would like it on toasted white bread."

Guy: "That's what I was afraid of, ok so let me see you want; ham, lettuce, tomato, provolone, olive oil, vinegar, roost beef, Swiss , pickle, anchovies but go light on em, Mayo, beans, gravy, pepper, salt, mushrooms (Chinese), radishes, carrots, olives, more pickle, a small assortment of dried fruit, a cherry on top, and I would like it on toasted white bread."

Me; "No no I want; ham, lettuce, tomato, provolone, olive oil, vinegar, roost beef, Swiss , pickle, anchovies but go light on em, Mayo, beats, gravy, pepper, salt, mushrooms (Chinese), radishes, carrots, olives, more pickle, a small assortment of dried fruit, a cherry on top, and I would like it on toasted white bread."

Guy: "Oh! I see, that will be a few moments sir anything else?"

Anyway I got my sub expecting it to be the sensation that it usually is, but when I bit into it, it was terable! I had never tasted a more putrid peace of mud in my life! You are most likely thinking "duh! That sub was born to be gross!" but I have had subs like this before and TRUST me they are great! One of the 6 food wonders of the world! (food wonders also include; Chouterzuoomainet the popular French deresrt, and Pizzur the Italian food that was not properly translated when it came to America.) So my point is I had a 10 lb sandwich on my hands and I was out 54 dollars and 73 cents, now I am afraid to buy anything because I feel like I might be ripped off again!

My point is don't shop at the big chains stick to the mom and pops! Also if you ever get around to it you really ought to try a ham, lettuce, tomato, provolone, olive oil, vinegar, roost beef, Swiss , pickle, anchovies but go light on em, Mayo, beats, gravy, pepper, salt, mushrooms (Chinese), radishes, carrots, olives, more pickle, a small assortment of dried fruit, a cherry on top, on toasted white bread sandwich. They are very delicious.
