OR maybe I will.<br /><br />A sandwich is made with bread and it doesn't do a really good job of holding custard type stuff in it. Even if you use Pita bread ... custard doesn't work well in a pocket.<br /><br />There are non custardy type pies, however, but most are made from ingredients that your normal bread buns won't take to.<br /><br />Graham cracker crusts and baked pastry dough crusts hold pie ingredients much better.<br /><br />A chocolate sandwich just doesn't sound very good. EVEn to me... well? I guess it would be a sandwich if you sliced a doughnut and put chocolate custard in it .. but then it would come out the hole. <br /><br />nah.... pies have crusts .... sandwiches have bread.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663919207326700505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-18087542417226659222014-03-10T17:09:40.943-05:002014-03-10T17:09:40.943-05:00I am sure you have been to camps in the woods that...I am sure you have been to camps in the woods that had outhouses, so what was on their doors?

I don't remember any shapes cut out of the door, but I do remember it was a "two-hole" outhouse... one of the "seats" was scaled down so a child could sit on it ;-) So far I've never been fired from a job, and, thank goodness, nobody has set fire to my home, wherever it might be.The Odd Essayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168404014947652773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-48605249997439721772014-03-10T12:39:10.086-05:002014-03-10T12:39:10.086-05:00HAhaaa...

BUT I heard the opposite for the half moon and star lore...<br /><br />"In frontier days the moon stood out as a feminine symbol, so public outhouses were affixed with crescent-moon cutouts to signify that the outhouses was intended for use by women.<br /><br />Conversely, the sun, star or sunburst pattern was used to signify the male outhouse, as the sun stood for masculinity."<br /><br />AND that it came from pagan religions... <br /><br />how about that for more useless information ... I like it. what else you got?<br /><br />Did you know that pie came from the Egyptians?
