The other day, while in the company of my dearest Peabody, the conversation turned to sandwiches . . .
Peabody: Why is it spelled S-A-N-D-W-I-C-H when it’s pronounced "sammich"?
Me: Because they were invented by the Earl of Sandwich who spelled his last name like that.
Several seconds pass . . .
Peabody (under her breath): Well, I bet his friends called him Sammich.
We're watching you.
Wanna make out?

More ironic? The Earl of Sammich never lived in Sammich.
You're right; he lived in a rural hamlet called Mah Belly.
Bwahahahaa!
Why don't we call them "Earls"?
Was there an Earl of Hoagie; a duke of Sub; a Kinght of Hero?
Do people really pronounce it "sammich"?
I have it on good authority people called him "Sommbitch".
There's a joke about buns lurking around here somewhere...if I could just put my finger on it.
Sammich is just more fun to say.
When I need a sandwich I like to say (in my best Sammy Davis Jr voice) "I need a Sammy"
(while I shake my hand as if it's packed with rings)
Favorite line from the 'Brady Bunch Movie' (1995):
'You boys want to go inside and help me make a sandwich?'
Oops, 'sammich'...
The Earl of Sandwich also invented the threesome. True story.
No wonder he didn't have time to eat a full meal.
Bwah-ha-ha! I love the post and comments.
Earl must have lived in a quiet town ... board people always invent the best of things.
