One sandwich, hold the needle

A passenger on an Air Canada flight found a sewing needle in a catered sandwich during a flight on Monday. Peter Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for Air Canada, said the following day that the airline is working closely with its caterer, which he didn't name, to ensure heightened security measures have been put in place. But it's too late for this particular flight because the mounties are now investigating the incident, which occurred on a flight from Victoria (host city of the 1994 Commonwealth Games) to Toronto. This incident is similar to reports of needles which were found in six sandwiches on Delta flights from Amsterdam to the United States two weeks ago. See a pattern here? I do, and this whole thing is why people shouldn't trust airline food. There is always going to be a problem with the sandwiches. It could be sewing needles in one sandwich, live maggots in another, or even semen - it is possible that someone at some point in the chain may have been jacking off on company time.
