The German Sandwich

I was visiting my relatives in New York from Germany. Since I had never been there before, they decided to take me on a cruise to see the Statue of Liberty. I stood by the side, admiring the breathtaking view while clutching my favorite necklace. My aunt then walked over and gave me a sandwich to eat. I took it from her and ripped a huge hunk out of it. “Das est sooo good!” I mumbled.

“Well, I am glad you like it.” She replied, glancing at her watch. Then all of the sudden, my necklace broke, and fell over the railing! I gasped, and sucked in a chunk of my sandwich. I grabbed my neck doubling, over. My aunt shouted: “What happened?!”

I choked out “Heimlich Maneuver!” while clutching my throat. My aunt whipped out her German to English dictionary.

“Heimlich…means ‘secretly’!” she shouted as I choked. “And look! Her necklace is missing!…maneuver…oh! ‘Man over‘! Someone secretly stole her necklace, and jumped over-board!”

Everyone ran to the side of the deck.

“Man-over-board!” someone shouted. I coughed out of disbelief, and the chunk of sandwich flew out!

“Don’t vorry about me!” I rasped. “but dat vas a veery goot sandvich.”
