    I invented the sandwich
    As a small youth I had cut a section of turkey off from the cooked slab. I pondered to myself what would this section of turkey taste like between two pieces of bread with some cut cheese slices and a thin layer of mayonnaise.

    Who would have known 40 years later I would have revolutionized the food industry and made use of those many small brown paper bags.

        Plus the sandwich was around well before 1972. Now the internet, I would of believed that, but Al Gore beat you to the punch there.

          No such thing as a sandwich before 1972

          We had burgers, fish sticks, hot dogs but no sandwiches.

            Dude, what year were you born? I'm pretty sure the Croque Monsieur outdates you. This sounds fraudulent.

              So if I ate a ham and cheese sandwich in 1971 what would it have been called?

                Couldn't have ate that.

                It was not invented until after 1972

                            I thought the Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich. Are you him? Wait he was an English naval commander in the 17th century.

                                        The sandwich was invented in England in the 18th century by John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.

                                          An English aristocrat. It's said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this food because it allowed him to continue playing cards while eating, without getting his cards greasy.
                                          It would be fun to say in 1781, created by the Earl of Sandwich, but in fact, people had been tucking meat or cheese into bread for years before the 4th Earl of Sandwich- but his name gets the credit.

                                                    reminds me of intro to little britain.

                                                    "Britain. Britain. Britain. Land of technological achievment.
                                                    We've had running water for over ten years, an underground station linked to Peru and we invented the cat."




                                                    Narrator: When people in Britain want to buy a pet, they go to a pet shop. If they want to buy a pet shop, they go to a pet shop shop. If they want to buy a pet shop shop, well, they're just being silly.

                                                    Narrator: Until a law is passed to imprison fat people, they are free to roam our streets and attend slimmers' clubs like this one...
