Here's one I hadn't heard before. Thanks to Rosemary Zwick for sending it in.

I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the shopping center to buy
celery, cheese and spinach. I rolled down the car windows to make sure
my puppy had fresh air. She was stretched full out on the back seat and
I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there. I walked to the
curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically,
"Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay! Stay!" The driver of a nearby car
gave me a strange look and said, "Why don't you just put it in park?"

I know several people who are adamant that the words "elegant" and
"sandwich" should never be used in the same sentence, so call these
sandwiches what you will - I think they're elegant.

Avocado and Goat Cheese Sandwiches

1 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbs (15 ml) lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 French baguette cut into 4-inch (10 cm) lengths and split, or 4 to 6 crusty rolls, split
4-6 oz (110 - 170 g) goat cheese
1-2 ripe tomatoes, sliced

Mix together the avocado, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread
the avocado mixture on one side of the bread. Spread the goat cheese on
the other side, and place the tomato slices in between.
Serves 4 to 6.
