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."
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.
I had a friend from Plano who would joke that they just needed a town named “Bologna” in between Plano and Sandwich.
Yeah, the city of Sandwich wasn't going to stand for someone besmirching their good name.
Interestingly Sandwich, Massachusetts (1637) is actually older than the sandwich itself (1762).
The "ICH POLICE" with the door opened is a rather Schwarzenegger way to state your occupation, too 👌
Sandwich Crimes include:
isn't there a town called "fucking" somewhere, maybe in Germany? do the have the "fucking polizei"?
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".
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.
I've fixed (and driven) the Sandwich Police cruisers, they unfortunately lack anything worth eating on the inside.
Does their Earl still rule on high? Remember they had some of the upper crust in that town, true douchebags.
We've got a Sandwich in Illinois too! They were smart enough to mark their vehicles "POLICE - Sandwich, IL" though.
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)
