The Sandwich Board Man (By Val Chin)

The Sandwich Board Man, I have to admit, I don't remember reading about in the reading. The title does remind me of the fact that I was supposed to make a sandwich yesterday so that I could eat it for lunch in between classes today, but I didn't... partly because I was too lazy... partly because I forgot.

The Sandwich Board Man would probably have a sandwich for me though. He is probably always making sandwiches, it is just what he does... so he'd have so many leftover that he could give them to whoever is nearby and hungry. Surely he'd share one with me. Surely he would, right? I think he would. Anyone who would make sandwiches on his free time would seem like a nice guy to me. Maybe a salami sandwich, or a tuna salad sandwich! Now I am making myself hungry...

Maybe the Sandwich Board Man is just a name to get people thinking about sandwich so that they would get hungry and want a sandwich... a good marketing ploy in my opinion.

If the Sandwich Board Man that I described above really exists, I wonder where I would find him. I imagine that he is a hefty man (from eating sandwiches all the time), who lives in a shack or something... Kind of run down cabin or trailer... something like that. I could imagine he's the humble type who has alot of cash, but doesn't splurge or waste it. All he would need to spend his money on is sandwich ingredients (and utilities of course). He wouldn't be a very well kept man though. Kind of burly, unshaven, and taller than your average man. HA! Kind of like Santa Claus I guess. Somehow I just made the connection that the Sandwich Board Man is like Santa Claus, my brain works in weird ways, I know. Yumm... Sandwich.
