Two rounds of ham and cheese …

… extra mayo, hold the Mary.

You’ve probably heard of the woman who is auctioning her 10 year old sandwich on eBay. If not, you can have a peek at the item here. The bid is currently up around $18 000. Want to chip in with your bid?

She claims that after making the sandwich the face of the virgin Mary appeared.

You are viewing an extroidinary out of this world item!! I made this sandwich 10 years ago, when I took a bite out of it, I saw a face looking up at me, It was Virgin Mary starring back at me, I was in total shock, I would like to point out there is no mold or disingration, The item has not been preserved or anything, It has been keep in a plastic case, not a special one that seals out air or potiental mold or bacteria, it is like a miracle, It has just preserved itself which in itself I consider a miracle, people ask me if I have had blessings since she has been in my home, I do feel I have, I have won $70,000 (total) on different occasions at the casino near by my house, I can show the recipts to the high bidder if they are interested, I would like all people to know that I do believe that this is the Virgin Mary Mother Of God, That is my solem belief, but you are free to believe that she is whomever you like, I am not scamming anyone, I would like all potinetal bidders to know that this has gained alot of attention from media personell around the country,

It’s difficult to wade through her description with the spelling, grammar and lack of paragraphs, but you get the idea. Her full description actually runs quite a bit longer than that.

I do wonder why she decided it was Mary staring back at her. If it was a male face I suppose she would have decided it was Jesus.

I would have to say that I don’t quite know what’s going on with her sandwich or why it hasn’t deteriorated but I certainly have a problem with someone claiming that God would send her a lucky charm to help her win $70 000 at the casino. I also wonder if the sandwich brings such good luck and has helped her to win a truckload of money, why does she want to part with it? Surely she doesn’t need the many thousands of dollars this piece of bread will bring in.

Do you have any other ideas as to who it might be appearing on her loaf? If it’s not Mary, who do you think it is? Cameron Diaz played the title role in the movie There’s Something About Mary, maybe it’s her. Maybe it’s Mary Tyler-Moore. Maybe it’s not a Mary at all. It could be a Jane or a Lucy or a Tracy.
