Tragedy Sprouts Its Ugly Head
This world is chalk full of hypocrisy and injustice and there is no greater example of it than the current situation in the professional sandwich-making industry. Do you realize that not a single one of the four major sandwich-making chains offers alfalfa sprouts on their subs? I know, it seems unbelievable, but check it out for yourself. Not Subway, not Togo's, not Quizno's, not even Blimpie. "Sandwich artists" my ass! It's as if the entire sandwich industry has formed a collective Sprout Nazi and is cruelly shouting to the sandwich-loving public, "No sprouts for you!" I feel like Andy Dufresne in "The Shawshank Redemption" when the warden scoffs at evidence of his innocence. "How can you be so obtuse?" If I had the means, I would open my own chain, Alfalfa Farms, and put an end to this senseless embargo on one of the finer ingredients a sandwich has ever known, the alfalfa sprout.
And another thing...if companies can make a fortune selling bottled water, why has no sandwich chain thought to offer a professionally made peanut butter and jelly?
