IF A SANDWICH COULD TALK by Enrique S.O.


Please stop! First think about it. I was just prepared two hours ago. I don’t want to die, I’m really young, and besides that, I really miss my family. My dad used to love literature; he was a “HAMlet” Sandwich. My mom was a little overweight , but lets get real, how wasn’t she going to be like that if she was JAMmed with jam, my sister was a “CHEESY” sandwich who would always tell bad jokes and finally my younger brother was a “PICKLE” sandwich, always getting into trouble. I won't say anything about my grandpa, I really never got to see him, he was always out with his friends playing cards, dominoes and even golf; just as a real CLUB sandwich does.


Definitely I’m not an option. Come on, you must stop eating sandwiches; we are not a good at all. You should try vegetables instead. So listen, here’s a song I prepared for all of you. I hope you enjoy it.

REASONS FOR WHICH YOU SHOULD EAT VEGGIES

Aren't they cute? Aren’t they sweet?
Don't they look too good to eat
Have me no more
Come on, be a herbivore
Yummy trees, gummy sap
Stuff some flowers in your mouth
Don't eat me anymore
Come on, be a herbivore.

You'll lose weight easily
When you dine on greenery
Take a chance, join the dance
Tell the world you'll stick to plants.
Lovely leaves, dainty grass
Doesn't bread seem kind of crass
As a snack, we're a bore
Come on, be a herbivore.

Please don’t eat bread
We're not that nutritious
Have veggies instead
Cause they’re for sure delicious.
You want to eat me
I wish you wouldn't
I know you’d like
really shouldn't.

(TALKING)
I love you guys a lot
It's an undisputed fact
But look at these calories I've got
They will get stuck in your digestive tract.

Soooooo Please!!!!

Have some beans or some beets
You can even try some peas
Got some grapes you'll adore
But please say you'll be a herbivore
You could eat the whole outdoors
Come on, please become a herbivore.

DAD'S ARMY by Enrique S.O.


Right after The Second World War, many filmmakers were inspired by thousands of stories that the one just mentioned caused.


In this case, we're talking about Dad's Army, an idea first brought to reality by the writers Jimmy Perry and David Croft. It all started as television series broadcasted in British televisions between 1968 and 1977. It consisted on at least 80 episodes. Dad's Army became a film in 1971, directed by Norman Cohen and starred by most of it's original actors in the series. This film shows some men surrounded by their ridiculous situations getting prepared for a possible German invasion. These Home Guards aka Local Defense Volunteers want to serve their country even after they were not accepted in the regular military due to their age or to their mental deficiency.


Definitely one of the funniest films and probably the best film of a TV show ever, because it lets us combine the bitterness of a hard situation such as war, with the delightful essence that only comedy can offer. A must see.
