My time to shine.

I was travelling through there with my family and my wife says she wants a picture of the Sandwich Police because, hey, why not. We figure the has to be cop cars at the police station, right? So we cruise by, she rolls down the window and takes a picture of their parking lot. So now we're sitting there, looking at our GPS figuring out where to go next. Cue the flashing red and blue lights. Yup, one of the cops had pulled up behind us asking why we were taking pictures of a secure location. Fortunately we were able to explain and it turned into a humorous situation. The cop was surprisingly cool and let us take pictures of his cruiser. He joked that, "yes, we're the Sandwich Police, we make sure a foot long is actually a foot long."

"What seems to be the problem here?"

"This man claims a hotdog is a sandwich."

"Is this true?"

"They are! They're open-faced sandwiches!"

"I've heard enough. Take him away, boys."

Sandwich Police: SWU (Special Wraps Unit)

[-] Nougat@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Hot dogs are tacos, lock him up.

[-] agoseris@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Structurally, what's the difference between a hotdog and a submarine sandwich?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago

The canopy.

Hotdog can't go underwater.

[-] Wakmrow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

They seriously drove around in these cars.

[-] krimsonbun 21 points 2 years ago

ACAB includes the sandwiches.

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Or as we call them in the Biz, pigs in a blanket

[-] Nougat@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago

My dad used to tell me about the city of Peanut Butter in Illinois, on Route 34, near Plano and Sandwich.

Plano, Peanut Butter, Sandwich.

I miss him.

[-] Broadwayqtpi@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I had a friend from Plano who would joke that they just needed a town named “Bologna” in between Plano and Sandwich.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I really hope they are the cops who arrested Jared from Subway.

Yeah, the city of Sandwich wasn't going to stand for someone besmirching their good name.

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Interestingly Sandwich, Massachusetts (1637) is actually older than the sandwich itself (1762).

Because it's named after the place that the Earl the food is named after was from.

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Are there any towns in the US named Donut?

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 years ago

Well that was a pointless search I went on.

[-] Glitterkoe@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

The "ICH POLICE" with the door opened is a rather Schwarzenegger way to state your occupation, too 👌

[-] spudwart@spudwart.com 9 points 2 years ago

Sandwich Crimes include:

  • Calling a hotdog bun filled with groundbeef and kraft american cheese a "Cheese Steak"
  • Selling a Mushroom Swiss burger with Lettuce, Tomato, Unfried Onions, Pickles, Ketchup and Mustard.
  • ~~The bite of `87~~
  • Putting Tomatoes on a breakfast sandwich
  • Calling a Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwich a "Napoleon Ice Cream Sandwich" (French)
  • Making a Bread & Bread Sandwich.
  • Everything at Arby's.

When Gordon Ramsay becomes a cop

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

"You donut! Mmmm, donut...."

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Gordon: WHAT ARE YOU. criminal: a a a criminal sandwich.

[-] Narrrz@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

isn't there a town called "fucking" somewhere, maybe in Germany? do the have the "fucking polizei"?

[-] kraftpudding@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

It is (was) in Austria. They changed their name to Fugging because people kept stealing their signs. They are also way too small for having their own police force (only 108 people live there). Also, Austrian police cars usually do not feature the city name on the car. And if they did, It would probably be "Polizei Fucking", not "Fucking Polizei" because this word order is more natural to native speakers. If you wanted to say police from/of Fucking, you'd say "Fuckinger Polizei".

[-] PurpleTentacle@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There used to be, in Austria. They even had a beer, called "Fucking Hell". And Pornhub gave free premium subscriptions to the Fucking citizens.

Until 2020. Then they renamed their little town to "Fugging". I don't think it's a coincidence that the whole world went to shit pretty much right after.

[-] Voyajer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Austria I believe

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Better than the car saying "City of Oklahoma City police"

[-] st3ph3n@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

We've got a Sandwich in Illinois too! They were smart enough to mark their vehicles "POLICE - Sandwich, IL" though.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Illinois also has the JUSTICE POLICE. And they sure as shit write it out that way. My one interaction with the Justice police was extremely pleasant, too (we were visiting "ghost sites" from a book our high school teacher gave us after he passed)

[-] xX_fnord_Xx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The ghost of your high school teacher gave you a book? Sick!

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Does their Earl still rule on high? Remember they had some of the upper crust in that town, true douchebags.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

This elicited a good chuckle out of me. TIL

[-] Curiousfur@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

I've fixed (and driven) the Sandwich Police cruisers, they unfortunately lack anything worth eating on the inside.

[-] xX_fnord_Xx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I dunno, I bet they're at least half full of pork.

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

There's a town in California called Weed...

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Sadly, the cop cars there say "City of Weed" on them.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

There's two towns, surprise and climax all on rte 81 in upstate NY

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Surprised to climax? /s

[-] Enzy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Imagine if they had a town named doughnut.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

None in murrica, but there are a few named bacon

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I thought France is bacon?

[-] Enzy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Expected as much.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

They have one named Braintree.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

They also have one called Florida

[-] Speiser0@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Burn the Sandwitch town, it's full of sand witches!

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I hear they arrested Oran J. Roughy, an international fugitive wanted for the embezzlement of over 75,000 bucks worth of ham sandwiches.
