When I was a teenager, new to my job, one of
the crew would announce that he was going
off for some sandwiches for lunch, and he
would ask if anyone wanted to join him.
There were usually a few eager takers and
off they would all go... leaving me to wonder
what the attraction was... I mean, it was only
sandwiches.
I never joined them because the
sandwiches that Mum would make for me to
take to work were quite adequate, thank you.
However, there was one day that found me to be
sandwichless at work, so without saying anything
I joined the others as they all headed off to
buy their lunch.
So how do these sandwiches fit in with this
challenge?
Well... as we walked down the street towards the
local shopping strip, one of the older blokes turned
to me and asked what I was having for lunch, "Oh
I don't, probably a couple of salad sandwiches." At
that, one of the other guys made a comment that I
didn't quite understand but the others all sniggered
at. I didn't give it another thought until after we
had arrived... and they all started filing into the
local pub.
Being only 15 years old at the time, I continued
on as if I was always headed towards the lunch shop
further down the street. But it was at that point
that I got the joke...
"Well I'm having a bottle of sandwiches...
maybe two."

A light lunch?
A banquet, or maybe a smorgasbord.ED: I should explain for all my readers... those that
comment (about 2 people) and those that lurk
(over 20 people)... that this post is in response to a
challenge laid down by TROLL. Go visit him... but
don't tell him I sent you, I have a reputation of
indifference to him that I need to maintain.
Cheers.
