Someone asked me this morning if I ate sandwitches. Not sure why but taht just struck me as one of the dumbest questions I've ever been asked. Who doesn't eat sandwitches?

It was a trick question. ;-)
Lots of people eat a sandwich.
I don't think I would eat any sand witches either. Too sandy.

I've never eaten either one. You seem to be focusing on those less gifted this week...(?)

Well DDX, it depends on the context. Research has established that sandwich eaters are 67% more likely than non-sandwich eaters to have suffer from microp&n!$ syndrome (see http://health.yahoo.com/ate/drgreene/allqa/genetics/00010102 ). So, that might have been on the person's mind.

On the other hand, if your spelling is correct - the person might have been a Sand Witch and was really just saying "Eat Me!"

That's why I like to pick at you. Bad spellers and Engineering just seems to go together.

I've heard of people not eating them. Wierd, yeah. But true.

BowlderSon likes to eat all of the ingredients of sandwiches, but not as sandwiches. Go figure....

With the whole low carb thing going on, maybe it's about the bread?

ps My family is full of engineers. My sister in particular was a A+ speller until engineering school! Now a PhD in electrical engineering. Spelling, gone!

Back when I as a vegetarian I got asked stuff like this a lot. People don't want to ask food questions like, "What don't you want on your pizza?" so they ask things like, "Do you eat pizza?" so that you can tell them, "Yes, but I don't eat meat." Like I said, I got this a lot.

I emailed you a couple of days ago.
