'I have to see a man about a sandwich', said after buying a $10 burger and realizing I could’ve just had a sandwich for $3.
'I have to see a man about a sandwich', texted to my best friend when I skipped dinner to save money and just wanted a sandwich.
'I have to see a man about a sandwich', said to my dad when I ran out of the house because I couldn't handle the price of the restaurant.
