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."

Sandwich Police: SWU (Special Wraps Unit)

Hot dogs are tacos, lock him up.

[-] agoseris@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[-] Broadwayqtpi@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago

ACAB includes the sandwiches.

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Are there any towns in the US named Donut?

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

Well that was a pointless search I went on.

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] Glitterkoe@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] spudwart@spudwart.com 9 points 1 year ago

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.

When Gordon Ramsay becomes a cop

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

"You donut! Mmmm, donut...."

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Gordon: WHAT ARE YOU. criminal: a a a criminal sandwich.

[-] Narrrz@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] kraftpudding@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year 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".

[-] PurpleTentacle@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Voyajer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Austria I believe

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] st3ph3n@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year 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)

[-] xX_fnord_Xx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The ghost of your high school teacher gave you a book? Sick!

[-] Curiousfur@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] xX_fnord_Xx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I dunno, I bet they're at least half full of pork.

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Surprised to climax? /s

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

This elicited a good chuckle out of me. TIL

[-] Udonezo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Enzy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Imagine if they had a town named doughnut.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

None in murrica, but there are a few named bacon

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I thought France is bacon?

[-] Enzy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Expected as much.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They have one named Braintree.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

They also have one called Florida

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Speiser0@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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