[Hoosier Daddy]

After living in the remote wilderness of MackDowell County, West Virginia all his life, an old hillbilly decided it was time to visit the big city.

In one of the stores he picks up a mirror and looks in it. Not ever having seen one before, he remarked at the image staring back at him, 'How about that! Here's a picture of my daddy.'

He bought the mirror thinking it was a picture of his daddy, but on the way home he remembered his wife didn't like his father, so he hung it in the outhouse, and every morning before leaving for the pool hall, he would go there and look at it.

His wife began to get suspicious of these many trips to the outhouse. One day after her husband left, she searched the outhouse and found the mirror. As she looked into the glass, she fumed, 'So that's the ugly whore he's runnin' around with.'

I had that sandwich last month while visiting Reading,Pa at a shop called Yellow Submarine (yes the shop has a Beatles theme). I believe it was called the Bulldog. It was one of the best sandwiches I ever had.
