"A hot dog cannot be a sandwich, for its bread is in one, split piece. Not unlike a gyro's bed of pita, or a taco's home of crisped masa." The being's worried eyes are now replaced by disappointed ones. "Incorrect", he replies, in a tongue that is barely distinguishable to your human ears. "For if that were true, the same could be said about the bread used for the Italian beef sandwich or the classic hero submarine." He smirks. Defeated, you're returned to the Shame Prison, forced to spend a thoughtless amount of time, pondering the answer to his question, only to fail. What you haven't yet learned - and maybe never will - is that there *is* no answer. A sandwich is defined only in our hearts. Discussed: Metroid: Samus Returns. Destiny 2. Working in retail.
