Man Finds Knife In Subway Sandwich, Sues

by markjabo on July 20th, 2008

Says 7-Inch Chef’s Knife Should Have Also Come With Paring Knife and 4-Inch Utility Knife

Joel Agnesini found quite the surprise when he chowed down on his Subway Cold Cut Trio sandwich last week. After a couple of bites, he noticed the blade of a seven inch knife protruding from his sandwich.

The New York man has retained legal counsel and is suing the Wusthof Cutlery Company for not including the Ikon paring knife and four inch utility knife that are usually part of a set with the seven inch chef’s knife.

“If you bite into a sandwich and narrowly miss performing plastic surgery on yourself, the least a company can do is include a full set of quality knives so that you don’t have to go searching all over the Internet for two knives to match the one you’re holding in your teeth,” complained Agnesini.

Agnesini plans to sue for $1 million and an unfinished butcher block storage cube so he can display his new knife collection.

In an effort to keep up with the new Subway giveaway, Quiznos has announced they will be partnering with the Gillette Company to include a free Fusion razor in every baked sandwich.

The Gillette Fusion features five blades for a smoother, more dangerous shave from a razor that now has more blades than your lawnmower.

    This brings back fond memories for me! And an amusing anecdote!

    One of my early cases as a young partner at Quick, Duhk & Hyde, I had a call from a young couple with differing tastes in fast food. He bit into a deep fried piece of glass from KFC which severed the tip of his tongue, which flew off and landed, as luck would have it, in the chili his wife had purchased at Wendy’s.
    The wife had the presence of mind to call me immediately from the car, and was cool enough under pressure to follow my instructions, lop off another lobe of his tongue to place in their child’s Happy Meal from McDonalds before proceeding to our approved medical facility.

    Oh, what a payday that was! It became somewhat legendary as “Quick’s Triple Crown.” The husband later passed away in an unfortunate but actionable McNugget-related mishap.
