Two Slices of Bread and a Promise

It has come to my attention, after a careful review of American commerce and culture, that what this country truly needs right now is another overpriced sandwich shop.  Please give me ten million dollars in venture capital to make this dream a reality.  All profits from Piercenham’s Sandwich Shop, after I buy everything I have ever wanted, will go to the David Brooks Fund for Teaching Poor People How to Pronounce ‘Ventricina’.
