I have just been having a bizarre argument with a friend over sandwiches, he claims that if a sandwich is cut in half it becomes two sandwiches, but I think not ...for instance when you buy a pre-packed sandwich from a shop you buy one sandwich cut in half, you wouldn’t call it two sandwiches?! however my friend came back with...well what about when you’re at a buffet and someone asks you to get them a sandwich you have one sandwich cut into little triangles, you’d get them one little triangle and that would constitute one sandwich? I kind of agreed but only because of the context in which the sandwich is in(buffet) weird I know but we couldn’t come to an agreement.

your friend doesn't know his sandwiches helv, nothing more pathetic than a man who doesn't know his sandwiches. for shame.

technically speaking, is that not termed a 'cut sandwich'?

Your friend is right. You are wrong. and kelpie is very wrong.

(Nov 28 05, 03:59)Yeah, saying that does make him a bit of a fud. The only real thing to say in a situation like this is, i'm right and you are stupit. He is right though.

don't listen to skt. he's just got it in for me today. Cutting something in half doesn't make it two things.
I don't know how you can sleep at night skt. I'm off to hang out with jaymac.

Hold on. There's something Bibilical in this - if you can cut one sandwich into two...then presumably you can cut them into a further 4, 8, 16 etc.
Does this mean that Jesus was handing out individual fish scales and breadcrumbs to his flock and getting marketing to big the promotion up a little?
just a vapid thought.

If you cut a worm in half you get two worms, my poppa told me so. Same principle ;).

(Nov 28 05, 04:00)Jaymac is much cooler than I first thought. He started a thread about me over the weekend. In the end we were best friends. He won't like you though. No way.

NOT TRUE NOT TRUE NOT TRUE.
Through intense research I can confirm that all you get is one dead worm.
- nessdog0
