When i was about 3 years old i took swimming lessons in this indoor swimming pool. i remember when we were being taught how to float on our backs (we were little!!) our teacher would tell us to look up at the ceiling and imagine a big sandwich there. i got it into my head that we were supposed to look for the giant peanut butter sandwich that was stuck to the roof so it didn't fall on us. i could never see it, and i thought everyone else knew where it was but i didn't ask because i didn't want to look stupid.
