...and which leads to a followup speculation: how, exactly, would sandwiches dance?

 

A Cuban sandwich, presumably, would rumba.

A Dagwood probably steps on Blondie's feet.

Not sure about a po' boy... maybe a drunken stumble outside the bar at closing time?

An interesting seder idea ...

I've seen Christmas dinners packed that way, on the "No Context Brits" Twitter feed. A perfect illustration of the aphorism that "just because you (ahem) can, doesn't mean you should."

Spanking Wine

 

I took this picture almost 30 years ago in Hunan. I never posted this scan of the print before because I always hoped I'd see it again and get a better (digital) shot but it hasn't happened. Presumably they went out of business. Not enough alcoholic S&M fans in China?
