Sandwich Sensation (by Richie Marrow)

I was talking to Violet Thomas who has recently contributed to the Museum of the Strange in Seattle, Washington. Her discovery, the "Guilty Rotten Sandwich" is being seen by people around the world! Violet has done several interviews with various radio stations and newspaper writers (one of which is me).

Paper Hugger Magazine interviewed Ms. Thomas whereby she stated, "It all kind of started when I made a sandwich. I was about to leave for a one-week conference, so I packed up my things, but accidentally left the sandwich behind." She later explained to 10TV news that she went to the conference, came home, remembered her sandwich and went over to throw the sandwich away.  Then she saw a note next to the sandwich that said, "Look, I'm sorry I rotted while you were gone. I tried not to, and am really sorry. I was a little angry that you didn't take me with you, and that's why I rotted. Again, I am very sorry. I am starting to feel really guilty so please forgive me."

Ms. Thomas read the note over again two more times, still stunned at what she saw. Suddenly, the eyes of the bread snapped open and the sandwich said "Well, do you forgive me?"  Ms. Thomas screamed. It happened so suddenly, she was frightened. She then squeaked, "Um...yeah. But how can y_"
"How can I talk?" the sandwich interrupted, "I dunno, but I'm kinda glad you didn't eat me, so I wouldn't scream when you bit into me."

She laughed. Ms. Thomas' friend who came to see if Violet was home, had come over from her house and saw the whole incident from the door. Her friend, then went on to tell Ms. Thomas about the museum.

The following day, Ms. Thomas called the Museum of the Strange and they worked out the details for the sandwich to be exhibited. Since then, the sandwich has been seen by school groups, tourists, and other museum curators. It is world famous!
