A sweet old lady is making lunch for her husband one day…
She had been making him the same lunch for the past 40 years. His favorite: a sandwich on Italian bread, made with turkey, American cheese, pickles, onions, mustard, and mayo.
One day, the husband walks into the kitchen, sits down, and takes a bite. His wife asks, as she always does, “How’s the sandwich, dear?”
Every time, he gives the same response: “It tastes fine.” He continues eating with a disappointed look on his face.
His wife starts thinking it might be time to switch things up. The next day, she makes his usual lunch but replaces the turkey with ham and uses wheat bread instead of Italian. She thinks, *Surely, he’ll enjoy this!*
The husband enters the kitchen, sits down, and takes a bite. His wife asks, “How’s the sandwich, dear?”
As always, he replies, “It tastes fine,” and continues eating with that same disappointed look.
Determined to find something he’ll love, the next day she makes him a sandwich with salami, pepperoni, extra veggies, and vinaigrette dressing. When he takes a bite, she eagerly asks, “How’s the sandwich, dear?”
Again, he says, “It tastes fine,” and keeps eating with the same expression.
By the next day, his wife is fed up with his lack of enthusiasm. She decides to make him the most unique sandwich he’s ever had.
She toasts (almost burns) Italian bread and adds random ingredients: peanut butter, peppers, onions, strawberry jam, turkey, ham, corned beef, olives, and various seasonings. She thinks, *If this doesn’t get a reaction, nothing will!*
The husband walks into the kitchen, sits down, and takes a bite. His eyes widen, and he takes two more bites. Suddenly, he looks up at his wife with the biggest grin she’s ever seen.
He chuckles and says, “Finally! Something original in this sub!”
