The Subway Conversion Chart
by Greg at 11:48 AM
Actual conversation at Subway...
Me: I'd like a 12-inch BMT on white.I suppose that was kind of rude of me, but I felt safe because they make the sandwich right there in front of me. I wouldn't do that at a drive-thru. No point getting into a mathematical semantic argument with the guy on the McDonald's intercom over a "one-fourth pounder", because you can be sure that you will get a Quarter Pounder with extra loogie.
Sandwich Artist: 12-inch? You mean a footlong?
Me: Yes, there are 12 inches in a foot.
And just because its already in your head....
Five.
Five dollar.
Five dollar footlong.
