(In the show ‘How I Met Your Mother’, smoking marijuana is often referred to as ‘eating sandwiches’.)

Brother: “Admit it. You only took the job at [sandwich shop] because when they said you get a free sandwich every shift, you thought they meant How I Met Your Mother-style sandwiches.”

Me: “Maybe. Hehe. I’m eating a sandwich.”

Brother: “At work, too. Tsk tsk.”

Me: “Everyone does it. My boss eats sandwiches in the store.”

Brother: “Unbelievable.”

Me: “He’s setting a terrible example. His wife does it too. I’ve even seen his kids eat sandwiches.”

Brother: “That’s just sad. Honestly, I’m surprised you don’t just go the whole hog and start selling sandwiches in the store.”

Me: “We do. We’re actually a sandwich shop. Disguised as a sandwich shop.”

Brother: “Whoa. You might have to slow down there. I’m pretty baked!”

(Turns out he didn’t even realise the pun he’d made.)
