Foot High Sandwiches

We got this place about a mile from my front door that sells foot high sandwiches. It's called Dagwood's and it real popular mostly with men. When you come in they hand you one of those yellow legal pads and you write what you want on your sandwich and how high you want it. The shorter the cheaper and the taller the more it costs. They won't go higher than a foot because sandwiches have a tendency to fall over when they get too high. Besides hardly anybody can eat more than a foot of sandwich. They have twelve kinds of meat, ten kinds of cheese, three kinds of lettuce, eight kinds of pickles, three kinds of olives, two kinds of tomatoes, four kinds of onions, and seven kinds of bread. A man from California came in last month and suggested they add artichoke and avocado, and they did. This place is run by a woman I have known all my life. Her nickname is and always has been Blondie. Because of her hair color, doncha know? I asked Blondie why they used a yard stick to measure their sandwiches when they didn't go no higher than one foot. She said she had a ruler once but it kept getting lost. Besides they didn't need but one ruler in her cafe and she was doing a good enough job herself filling that bill.
