Who wastes money on sandwich bags? Such spendthrifts here...

Just save the old bread bags for carrying sandwiches. Helpful hint, if you reuse coffee filter bags, be aware that they punch holes in them, yet another use for duct tape.

I have always thought that that song was named "wish sandwich". Thanks for the link...

YW, glad you enjoyed.
In my younger years, I credit the Blues Brothers for getting me interested in blues. I was aware of blues but never really listened to it.
I was a big fan of the original SNL as a teenager. Akroyd was a favorite.
Is Akroyd still actively involved with the House of Blues? TheBluesmobile.com

So a friend of ours found himself at a wedding many years ago, staying at the condo of friends of the bride. He was in the wedding, and had the good fortune to find himself in flagrante delecto with a lovely lass who was also a member of the wedding party.
Alas, he discovered he'd come ill-prepared, and searched the bedroom of the borrowed home to no avail. After consulting with the girl, he went looking in the kitchen and came back with a roll of saran wrap, convincing her that it would be completely functional.
He tells the story much better, and it never fails to get a crowd rolling on the floor laughing. Well, everyone but his wife. We like to conjecture what sales skills might have been required if he'd returned with aluminum foil instead.

I'm sure I would have held my own under the same circumstances.
