    “This case, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is about a sandwich,”

    Absurdity is to fascists what garlic is to vampires.

      Did anyone ask the sandwich how it felt?

        Unfortunately the sandwich didn’t survive. But if they could ask it, the assumed response would have been “KERSPLAT”.

          Seems more of a “thump”, since it didn’t come open as the agent lied it did. Also, it certainly survived. Still wrapped, seems good enough to eat still. Doesn’t even need a 5 second rule.

      Was it the sandwich itself, or the mustard and onions? I’m not clear on where their fear lies. PB&J, foot long subs, open face grilled cheese… we need to know the optimal offensive here. Eh, just bring a variety, and whatever doesn’t make them cower can be lunch.

          “Just get me a turkey club… uh… coleslaw, I guess… I’m not even going to eat it.”

          Wonder what coleslaw does on impact?
