I never knew the large fellow's name, but he had a gigantic head, covered in a haphazard beard and topped awkwardly with a Subway visor. A gold herringbone chain was always mangled in his thick chest hair, and his Subway shirt was ill fitting. Now that I think back on it, he was the spitting image of Gary from Teen Mom.
Well, guess who this stud muffin had his eye on? Little old me.
Gary was a real perv. He would make a grotesque kind of groan as he smothered mustard on my sandwich. Sometimes he would give me a wink as he threw an ice cream scoop of tuna on my wheat bread. He always asked me for my phone number, to which I replied "555-Hell No" as I grabbed my sandwich and ran, yes ran, out the door.
But, now that I think about it, Subway is FULL of sexual energy, isn't it?
Let's examine the facts.
In no other establishment can you request anything with the words "six inch meatball". Looky there. You've just described the average man's genitalia. Lovely, isn't it?
Let's add the various "condom" ments squirting rapidly from nozzles, toasted buns and endless photographs of subway tunnels on the walls. Oh, and there are also gloves involved.
Then, you mosey over to the beverage dispenser to see a life size cut out of Michael Phelps in a Speedo. There's also some nerd named Jared standing around holding really large pants in his hand.
Do you see where I am going with this?
Yes, Subway is full of sexual energy. So, I guess Gary wasn't really a pervert. He was trapped in soft core porn 8 hours of the day. Throw in a cable installer and you've got the makings of some prime time post 10 pm Cinemax programming.
If your relationship is lacking in the intimacy department, forget the lingerie and self help books. All you need to do is cast flirtatious eyes upon your significant other and whisper...
"Baby, let's Eat Fresh."



I've always been annoyed by all the questions they ask you at Subway, but until I read your post I never realized all the possibilities for sexual innuendos. I think I'll stay away for a while. Fun post.
ReplyDeleteAh, the Subway interrogation. It is annoying isn't it??
DeleteThanks for reading!
HIl-arious. I won't be able to go in a Subway now, and not snicker and make jokes and suggestive noises to those in my group.....I will HAVE to explain your post first. This is great.
ReplyDeleteOh, you MUST explain it first. Otherwise, they are going to think you are just a perv like Gary!
DeleteHahahah who knew! Clearly, we need to make sure there are no subways within 500 ft of schools. You know, for the children.
ReplyDeleteClearly!
DeleteThat would explain my sexual appetite! I practically grew up in Subway! My mother was the manager of 3 stores and I ate for free all the time. I even worked there at one point.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I bet you got some stories!!
DeleteAh, no wonder all the hormonally charged teenagers want to eat at Subway. I will really worry about the chicks who order the footlongs!!!
ReplyDeleteThat last sentence made me choke.
DeleteHmm... what does it say about us that my hubby loves Subway and I can't stand it? I might have to get on him about his favorite order: 12 inch seafood and krab with pickles. Sounds like something you might find in an Adam & Eve catalog, no?
ReplyDeleteHaha! For sure!!
DeleteIf anyone ever tries to seduce me by suggesting we "eat fresh," I will hurl.
ReplyDeleteFun post!
HA! Where can i get me one of the baby tees! ;)
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft Paint!
DeleteHey, I like the new name! And this post is hilarious. When I go to Subway it's because I'm stuck in some desolate place with no vegetarian food and that's my last resort, but next time that happens I will absolutely think of you. You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you!!
DeleteTerrific, as always. I laugh out loud every time. You have changed my Subway experience from here on out. Creative and so funny!
ReplyDeleteI will never look at Subway the same again. clever.
ReplyDeleteI have missed you on the challenge grid. Always so fresh...is that the wrong word for this post? Great writing and such insightful, humorous observations.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend. I've been so busy lately. I've missed Yeah Write and kind comments like yours! Good to be back!
Delete'"condom" ments.' Love it!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh...that is funny. guess everything in life has another perspective i am innocently missing....
ReplyDeletei am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
Thanks for following! Will follow back!
DeleteThis made me laugh so hard. You are right. Subway is rather sexual innuendo - ie. I still love eating out there though...
ReplyDeleteI love it too. And yet I hated 50 Shades of Gray.
DeleteThen there's the whole double meat thing. Dwell on that image for a moment.
ReplyDeleteYes. After I wrote this, the term "hard salami" kept coming to mind.
DeleteI'm oddly turned on by this post...? And I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteThen I've succeeded.
DeleteLoved this, so hilarious! I rarely go to subway, but I'm never going to be able view it as just another fast food joint! And, I'll probably insist on take-out ;)
ReplyDeleteWho can eat in a place like that!? Seriously, take out is better!
DeleteHey, I'm going to subway!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGo on, girl!
DeleteI'm pretty sure after the first time that guy came on to me, I would have refused to ever eat at that Subway again. Ick. I have nothing against posters of Michael Phelps, though...
ReplyDeleteYou have to realize I grew up in a one horse town with limited dining establishments. I was forced to eat at this Subway. My hands were tied!
DeleteBwahaha!! I will never eat at Subway again without thinking about this. And I found saying "condiments" without giggling impossible before...
ReplyDeleteCondiments is such a silly word.
DeleteCan anyone order a Foot-long meat lovers sub without giggling?
ReplyDeleteOnly sociopaths.
DeleteLOL I will never look at Subway the same ever again!!
ReplyDeleteYayayay!!
DeleteOh, GREAT! I don't think I'll ever be able to keep a straight face listening to our teen girls order a 6 inch anymore!!! AGHHHHH!
ReplyDeleteAt least they aren't going for the footlongs. Good kids.
DeleteI almost couldn't finish this because my brother worked at Subway, so, eww.
ReplyDelete;-)
Ew. Sorry.
DeleteSo my idiot ex-husband's second wife was Asian, and got a job at Subway. Naturally my sick and twisted mind Just HAD to change the slogan to "Subway, eat flesh!" Instead of fresh, y'know, cause she's Asian. SO wrong! But, it kept me amused. I'm certainly not racist in any way, just a sick twisted girl.. sigh
ReplyDeleteI think Subway, Eat Flesh is the slogan for Zombie Subway workers....
DeletePoor Gary, pining away for you. I bet he thinks of you as the one that got away.
ReplyDeleteThis is either going to make all your readers rush out to Subway or else scare them away from Subway.
ReplyDeleteWait until everyone finds out that "five dollar foot longs" are overly optimistic.
