Right place, right time

We were in a cafe in the little town of Sandwich, Cape Cod while we were on our vacation. I waited for my order and my dad was already drinking his coffee and enjoying his bagel when he looked up and said:

> Dad: I think your order is nearly ready, it smells like sandwich. >
> Me: Well, the whole town smells like sandwich.

He actually laughed.
