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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 11 months ago

The canopy.

Hotdog can't go underwater.

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 6 points 11 months 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 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

ACAB includes the sandwiches.

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.

When Gordon Ramsay becomes a cop

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

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 11 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

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Surprised to climax? /s

[–] st3ph3n@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago

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

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 11 months ago

This elicited a good chuckle out of me. TIL

[–] Curiousfur@yiffit.net 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago

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

[–] Enzy@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Imagine if they had a town named doughnut.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

None in murrica, but there are a few named bacon

[–] Enzy@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Expected as much.

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They have one named Braintree.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

They also have one called Florida

[–] Narrrz@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] PurpleTentacle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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.

[–] Udonezo@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 11 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.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Speiser0@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

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