Is this planet the ridiculous capitol of the universe?
Wilhelm says yes.

 

[Matt]

great to know our tax dollars are used so wisely

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I wonder if I made a club sandwich, and then put it in a blender, if it would still be a sandwich or change into something else.

They should open a Sandwich Smoothies Shoppe.

Duh, the Mexicans don't care about the Earl of Sandwich.

LOL...and ewwww

 

[Hotwire]

I wonder how much money was wastesd on court costs and lawyer fees over this stupid issue.

 

[jaguarr]

People who file ridiculous, frivolous civil lawsuits like this should be sent to a maximum security prison for a minimum of five years if they lose the case. That would make people think twice about clogging our court system with this sort of trivial bull$h1t.

Wow I am sure glad to know this has been settled

Sounds like a good idea. Of course then they'll file sexuall harrassment lawsuits against the other prisoners.

 

[SuperFerret]

Wait... what about pizza? Or a pita? Or a ham sandwich?


Are they sandwiches?

I need to call my lawyer.

They'd just get shivved in the shower for filing that kind of lawsuit, so it all works out in the end, anyway.

It is not all that frivolous as the burritto shop is a direct comopetitor of theirs and will likely result in a reduction of their revenues. The tactic was a bit stretched but maybe their only chance of preventing the end of their niche standing within the mall.

This is the all the guy who invented the "Sandwich Wrap" fault!
He took ingredients you would put in a sandwich and stuffed it in a flour tortilla but instead of calling it a burrito or taco, he decided to still call it a sandwich.

Genius Genius Genius

So true.
If you spill your coffee in your lap, and it was "hot" ( ), and it burned your crotch, and you think the coffee shop was at fault, for making the coffee "too hot".....then you stand to win MILLIONS, if it was their fault in the eyes of the court,
So you should stand to lose big as well, otherwise, when Grandma scalds her cobwebby crotch and ends up as rich as a super model, what's to stop hundreds of jealous, poverty-stricken d0rks from dumping all manner of piping-hot beverages in their laps?

Gee, maybe they'll have to come up with ways to make their product more desirable than their competitions like every other business in the free market. How horrible, indeed. The Panana people that filed the lawsuit should get five years in a supermax for this. It's frivolous.

Hmmm, imagine how good the sandwiches would be if 2 sandwich shops were located close to one another.
Why, they'd both have to really strive to offer quality sandwiches and find ways to stand out as the superior sandwich-maker.
And, yeah, seems like they'd have to put some work in to think of ways to offer something that the other doesn't.

And, if like many sandwich shops I've seen, one of them was lazy about portions, and hygiene, and service, and selection....OMG! They'd go out of business t00t sweet!

Wow, that would result in higher quality and more interesting choices for the sandwich consumer.

Hmmm, sounds great.

 

[Darren Daring]

Hmmm, I'm thinking.

When a bar band is playing in a little bar near a stadium where U2 is playing on the same night, they should sue U2.
U2 has an unfair advantage. It's direct competition and could result in a reduction of the little bar band's revenues.

Yes for the consumer it is great but if you are the owner of the shop you just see greater effort needed to keep a PERCENTAGE of your current clientele.

Then maybe you shouldn't have gotten in the hard knocks sandwich business if you couldn't handle the grease.

Well, countless thousands of potential consumers.....one widdle guy who thought he could get by selling half-assed sandwiches 'cause he had an artificial monopoly...

Welcome to reality, sandwich-p*ssy. Right here, there's a Border's bookstore, and a couple blocks away there's a Barnes and Noble.

Barnes and Noble inexplicably doesn't carry my favorite magazine, "Shock Cinema". Borders does. So when I want the new Shock Cinema, SOWWY WIDDLE Bawnes an' Nobew....I'm going to Borders. They get my money.

But B+N has a better DVD selection than Borders. So when I'm in the mood for a movie, sorry Borders. I'm going to B+N.



I suppose people would prefer some totalitarian socialist set-up where there's one drug store, one furniture store, one Greek restaurant, etc. within 10 mile circles.

I'm going to make sanwiches with cornbread and called them tacos because cornbread is basically a bread-like tortilla.

 

[Darthphere]

One of the great mysteries of the world has been solved.

In all seriousness, this is like a convo I had with my friend while we were high.

[burnout]Dude, like is a burrito, like a sandwich?[/burnout]
