My time to shine.

I was travelling through there with my family and my wife says she wants a picture of the Sandwich Police because, hey, why not. We figure the has to be cop cars at the police station, right? So we cruise by, she rolls down the window and takes a picture of their parking lot. So now we're sitting there, looking at our GPS figuring out where to go next. Cue the flashing red and blue lights. Yup, one of the cops had pulled up behind us asking why we were taking pictures of a secure location. Fortunately we were able to explain and it turned into a humorous situation. The cop was surprisingly cool and let us take pictures of his cruiser. He joked that, "yes, we're the Sandwich Police, we make sure a foot long is actually a foot long."

"What seems to be the problem here?"

"This man claims a hotdog is a sandwich."

"Is this true?"

"They are! They're open-faced sandwiches!"

"I've heard enough. Take him away, boys."

Hot dogs are tacos, lock him up.

Structurally, what's the difference between a hotdog and a submarine sandwich?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

The canopy.

Hotdog can't go underwater.

They seriously drove around in these cars.

My dad used to tell me about the city of Peanut Butter in Illinois, on Route 34, near Plano and Sandwich.

Plano, Peanut Butter, Sandwich.

I miss him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I had a friend from Plano who would joke that they just needed a town named “Bologna” in between Plano and Sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

ACAB includes the sandwiches.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Or as we call them in the Biz, pigs in a blanket

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I really hope they are the cops who arrested Jared from Subway.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Yeah, the city of Sandwich wasn't going to stand for someone besmirching their good name.

Are there any towns in the US named Donut?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Well that was a pointless search I went on.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Interestingly Sandwich, Massachusetts (1637) is actually older than the sandwich itself (1762).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Because it's named after the place that the Earl the food is named after was from.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

The "ICH POLICE" with the door opened is a rather Schwarzenegger way to state your occupation, too 👌

Sandwich Crimes include:

  • Calling a hotdog bun filled with groundbeef and kraft american cheese a "Cheese Steak"
  • Selling a Mushroom Swiss burger with Lettuce, Tomato, Unfried Onions, Pickles, Ketchup and Mustard.
  • ~~The bite of `87~~
  • Putting Tomatoes on a breakfast sandwich
  • Calling a Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwich a "Napoleon Ice Cream Sandwich" (French)
  • Making a Bread & Bread Sandwich.
  • Everything at Arby's.

isn't there a town called "fucking" somewhere, maybe in Germany? do the have the "fucking polizei"?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

It is (was) in Austria. They changed their name to Fugging because people kept stealing their signs. They are also way too small for having their own police force (only 108 people live there). Also, Austrian police cars usually do not feature the city name on the car. And if they did, It would probably be "Polizei Fucking", not "Fucking Polizei" because this word order is more natural to native speakers. If you wanted to say police from/of Fucking, you'd say "Fuckinger Polizei".

There used to be, in Austria. They even had a beer, called "Fucking Hell". And Pornhub gave free premium subscriptions to the Fucking citizens.

Until 2020. Then they renamed their little town to "Fugging". I don't think it's a coincidence that the whole world went to shit pretty much right after.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Austria I believe

We've got a Sandwich in Illinois too! They were smart enough to mark their vehicles "POLICE - Sandwich, IL" though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Illinois also has the JUSTICE POLICE. And they sure as shit write it out that way. My one interaction with the Justice police was extremely pleasant, too (we were visiting "ghost sites" from a book our high school teacher gave us after he passed)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I've fixed (and driven) the Sandwich Police cruisers, they unfortunately lack anything worth eating on the inside.

There's a town in California called Weed...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Sadly, the cop cars there say "City of Weed" on them.

There's two towns, surprise and climax all on rte 81 in upstate NY

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Surprised to climax? /s

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Does their Earl still rule on high? Remember they had some of the upper crust in that town, true douchebags.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Better than the car saying "City of Oklahoma City police"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

This elicited a good chuckle out of me. TIL

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

There's a town called Sandwich in England and I indeed went to their Sandwich shop

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Imagine if they had a town named doughnut.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

None in murrica, but there are a few named bacon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I thought France is bacon?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Expected as much.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They have one named Braintree.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

They also have one called Florida

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Burn the Sandwitch town, it's full of sand witches!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I hear they arrested Oran J. Roughy, an international fugitive wanted for the embezzlement of over 75,000 bucks worth of ham sandwiches.
