Right now at the QFC by our office, there’s a sample dome of ham-and-cheese sandwiches!

I, for one, welcome our new grocery overlords.

  1. I’m with #4! Are you really gonna help yourself to mini-sandwiches that may have been handled by multiple who-knows-whos with who-knows-what? I’d have to be STARVING…like no food in a week starving.

  2. My lord, some of you people are bananas about germs. For what it’s worth, the nice deli man was stocking the Dome of Joy when I walked up and he handed me–with his gloved, totally sterile and freshly boiled hand–a lovely (and clean) little sammy. I know the next thing I say sounds crazy (I’m a daredevil), but I also each chips from bowls at parties and use water fountains.

  3. @4/8, hard to see in the photo, but each ‘wichlet is equipped with its own frilly toothpick handle. Though they are more something on which to hang your rationalizations than a means to prevent THE NEXT GREAT URBAN EPIDEMIC!!!

    It’s well known that cooties regularly hop up to 18″.

  4. @13, from the 1962 comedy album “The First Family“:

    The scene is a working lunch at the White House with a number of international leaders, and as an economy move President Kennedy is having everyone order sandwiches from the corner deli. President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt has just unwisely ordered pastrami on white. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion of Israel leans over:

    Ben-Gurion: “Mr. Nasser. I know we don’t get along. You never listen to me. Now you’re fooling around with rockets. But this time please listen. Pastrami don’t go with white bread and lettuce and mayonnaise. Have it on rye bread with mustard and a glass tea, you’ll enjoy.
