1. Once a person knows the main rules to sandwich punch they are a
player for life. Never punch a persons sandwich unless they are playing.
2. The game begins when one has taken the first bite of the sandwich.
3. Once the said sandwich has been bitten, ripped or cut into, the sandwich is open for punching.
4. Once the sandwich is set down it must be covered with an object. Any
object is welcome as long as it is an adament object. Example: you can
put a ketchup packet on the sandwich but you can't just put ketchup on
top of the sandwich. Sesame seeds don't count, don't be an asshole.
Other examples of objects you can use: fries, forks, spoons, knives,
salt or pepper packets, napkins, wrappers, A FRIKIN OBJECT OF ANY SORT!
5. In the event that a sandwich has been bitten, ripped, or cut into by
the owner and set down without an object being placed upon it, that
sandwich is legally punchable. (Note: the sandwich owner must have his
hands off of the sandwich as well)
6. Once punchable that sandwich is punchable until an object is placed
upon it, or it is picked up/touched by the sandwich owner.
7. The object used to cover the sandwich cannot be touched or
manipulated by anyone at any time. Example: if someone bumps your table
in an attempt to knock off the fry that's covering your sandwich and
the fry falls off, the sandwich cannot be punched because someone
manipulated the object. There is an exception to this rule however. SEE
BYLAWS; ACTS OF GOD.
8. In the event that a sandwich is unjustly punched the person that
wrongly punched the sandwich must buy the vicitim a brand new sandwich.
9. Enjoy! Welcome to the sandwich punch game. You are a player for life
and we look forward to punching your sandwich soon! We have included
BYLAWS and an F.A.Q. Section for questionable senarios. Don't worry,
we've got you covered!
BYLAWS
THE PRE-CUT SANDWICH:
In the event of a person receiving a sandwich that is pre-cut into
halves/fourths/etc. the person will usually eat one half first. Only
the half that is being eaten is in play. The other half is off limits
until a bite is taken out of it. This rule only applies if the sandwich
comes pre-cut. If the sandwich owner cuts the sandwich in half his or
her self, then both halves must be covered so as not to be punched.
ACTS OF GOD
In the event of an act of God, the object that is covering a persons
sandwich is altered by something that is not at the will of any other
persons around the sandwich. An example of this is if a random gust of
wind blows off a napkin that someone is using to cover the sandwich,
that sandwich is fair game to be punched. Another example is if there
is an earthquake and it knocks off a fry covering someones sandwich,
the sandwich is fair game to be punched. Once again, these are acts of
God, which mean that no one in the proximity of the sandwich had
anything to do with the manipulation of the covering object.
THE COMPLETE SANDWICH
In order to punch a sandwich it must be a complete sandwich. In the
event that someone puts down their sandwich and takes off one of the
pieces of bread, it is no longer a complete sandwich. This method of
protection is comperable to putting an object on the sandwich. Keep in
mind, however, that the bread is what makes the sandwich whole, not the
inner contents. So don't think that you don't have a "complete"
sandwich just because you took some lettuce out. As long as there are
two pieces of bread its game on.
F.A.Q.
What is a sandwich?
The definition of a sandwich is two or more slices of bread with a
layer of meat, fish, cheese, etc. between each pair. This definition
holds true for the most part when playing the sandwich game but we also
know that there are questions as to what is considered a sandwich. Here
you go: Naturally a sandwich is usually two pieces of bread but what
about subs? Yes, subs are punchable due to the fact that sub is short
for submarine SANDWICH. Its safe to say that anything that has sandwich
in it is, in fact, a sandwhich. This also goes for ice cream
sandwiches. Confused? Don't be, its an ice cream SANDWICH and further
more if you're a person that puts down an ice cream sandwich in the
middle of eating it, then you're an asshole and deserve to have your
delicious ice cream sandwich punched. OREO cookies, and all other cheap
imitations of OREO cookies are included as well based on the fact that
the package CLEARLY states that it is a SANDWICH cookie. Here's a list
of things that are NOT to be punched: Tacos, burritos, pitas, wraps,
calzones, etc.
What happens if another sandwich is harmed in the punching of the uncovered sandwich?
From time to time an innocent sandwich is damaged in the devastation of
the target sandwich. An example would be if one took a bite of a
sandwhich and then set it on top of an untouched sandwich. If the top
sandwich was punched fairly but the sandwich underneath was damaged
then the puncher owes the victim another sandwich to make up for the
damaged sandwich that was unjustly slaughtered. (NOTE: there must be
visible damage to the innocent sandwich)
What constitutes a fair punch?
Once a persons sandwich is set down and physical contact is severed
from the owner the said sandwich is open for punching until an object
is placed upon it. Many a glorious punches have been made while the
victim is grabbing a fry to place upon the sandwich. An open sandwich
is an open sandwich and will remain open until an object is put on top
or the sandwich is completely annihilated. We whole- heartedly
encourage the latter.
Can a sandwich be covered with another sandwich?
Yes, smart ass it can, but there are stipulations to this that will be
made PERFECTLY clear. In the event that one of your friends thinks he's
real funny and covers his sandwich with another all the rules can still
apply. If the sandwich is covered with another sandwich, the top
sandwich must not have a bite taken out of it. If they covered their
half eaten sandwich with another sandwich that has a bite out of it,
then the top sandwich is playable and can be removed by another player
and set beside it to make two, very punchable sandwiches.
If someone did not cover their sandwich, can we, like, grab their sandwich and do whatever we want with it?
Ok here's how it goes. It's called the sandwich punch game. It's not
called the "Let's grab someones sandwich when its not covered and run
across the room and then punch it until there's nothing left" game.
Technically the said sandwich should stay on the table of the offender
and is not open to be picked up, thrown, or ran off with. You punch a
sandwich, it's fun, don't be the douche that ruins the game for
everyone else.
The dream is to make this game international, where one man can punch a complete stranger's sandwich and know exactly why.
