What a country!

Corvallis recently got its own Jimmy John's sandwich shop, who will deliver single sandwiches anywhere in Corvallis until 4 am. Coming from a country where even Pizza Hut won't take your call after 9pm, this sounded just too good to be true, so of course, we had to test it out.

Thursday night, 11:55pm. We're sitting on the couch, critiquing but secretly enjoying pop music videos on cable, and Paul starts casually browsing the Jimmy John's website. You know, just to have a look and see what it's all about. By 12:05, we had a vegetarian sandwich, a soda, and a halved pickle on the way (you get to choose how your pickle is cut. Are you screaming with joy yet? Let me say it again: YOU GET TO CHOOSE HOW YOUR PICKLE IS CUT!!!! To borrow a phrase from David Foster Wallace, can I just say, is this not pampering to the point of insanity?!). With our delivery scheduled for 12:30 am, there was nothing to do but sit there nervously, watching Katy Perry and doubting whether this sandwich was ever going to arrive.

At 12:27, a knock on the door! Lo and behold...

 Ta da!

You wouldn't think it, but eating a giant salty pickle right before you go to bed actually makes for very restful sleep.
