“Delicious club sandwich for lunch” might be a clever sentence to partner with the sentence, “I’m the luckiest man” quote, but I wish you had done a little background research into that quote. Lou Gehrig made that statement when he gave his retirement speech, on July 4, 1939. He had to retire because he had ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), which is a terminal illness. He died two years later. So don’t you think that using that quote attributed to Lou Gehrig, in conjunction with a quip about a sandwich is a bit glib and trite? You can find out more about that speech, as well as ALS, by visiting these sites: http://tinyurl.com/da7xa9, http://tinyurl.com/csz2yk, and http://www.alsa.org/. Thanks.

@Dan Oh. I thought this was comedy, not a real history lesson. My bad.
