Nostalgia & History > No film,lost and hungry

Could not do anything but laugh and agree with Lance's post yesterday about
Tony Frey running out of film.It reminded me of a trip a couple of my "friends"
and I took to the backwoods and "hollers" of Kentucky and Tennessee.
I always seemed to the blunt of all jokes,not that I did not need it.
One this trip I brought a cooler with drinks and something to eat.Well we 
had taken some back road out in the middle of nowhere up in a "holler" to
shoot hard to find coal loading locomotives."Critters" as some call them.
We all got out of the car,when,yep you guessed it,I was out of film.So one
of my "friends" said,"I'll give you a paper and a pencil and you can start drawing
the locomotive! Well as you know,all of them started riding me.
Seems it was getting late and we were far from any place and they all started
saying,we are getting hungry.So,the old boy says,"I would be glad to make you
guys a sandwich for $10.00 each"After that they did not know what to say so
they all shut up and stopped kidding me about the film.Later they gave in an loaned
me some.

That's a funny story! Good thing you had some culinary 'leverage' with those guys...

Should have told them to make a sketch of a sandwich.

Sounds like someone was looking for a "wish sandwich"--as in "Rubber Biscuit" by the Chips (in the 1950s) or the Blues Brothers (1970s).
