He Told Me He Could Eat'em?

by Carl LeMay

I wonder if any of you remember the "contest" I had one night "after" hours?

 I'm sorry to say I can't remember his name, but one of the younger RAS guys, well he told me he could eat 3 of my sandwiches in ONE sitting.

So to make a long story short, I offered him a carton of cigarettes and $20.00 if he could do it. If he couldn't, he had to pay for the 3 sandwiches.

Well word spread fast throughout the Midway and the next day by 12:45 a.m.  my store was packed with RAS members.

I put a stool on the counter and he started to eat, there goes the first sandwich.

Everyone cheered as he finished, then the second one disappeared down the old gullet. (I haven't found to many people that could finish one of my sandwich, let along two without being stuffed)

So he started on the third sandwich and I think he must have been filling up fast, this one took him a little longer, we all stood there in amazement as he finished the last sandwich.

I paid the debt and he wondered off down the midway, I went to bed wondering how the heck ANYONE could have eaten two of my sandwiches let along three.

Well the next morning after I opened, it didn't take long before folks started showing up to tell me what happened after the "BIG" event.

That guy didn't even make it to the end of the dock before puking his guts, and my sandwiches, all over the alley!!!
