$7,500...$7,500...$7,500 footlong?

doesn't have the same ring to it...

And in another installment of "Things People Get Hit With," I submit to you...the humble sandwich.

Created by the Earl of Sandwich as a means by which to play cards and eat at the same time, it was Tuesday used as a weapon when Emmanuelle Rodriguez, 19, of Port St. Lucie became angered at his girlfriend as they drove to their new apartment on I-95, their sleeping 7 month old in the back.

Rodriguez recounts that he "didn't want to hit her, so he threw a sandwich at her face and knocked her glasses off." Unable to see the road, she nearly lost control of the vehcle, but was able to exit at St. Lucie West and call her mother to pick her up. I'm sure him ripping off the rearview mirror and banging the windshield with it didn't help the vision issue.

He was released on $7,500 bail (hence the title of the article, though it is a misnomer because, and I quote from the article, "the type of sandwich hurled was not specified in the report.")
