Mike Lamont of Akers, Mo. became a local oddity Tuesday when he became flustered and ordered banana peppers on his meatball sub at the St. James subway.
”I don’t know what happened” he said, looking at the floor of his one room apartment. Lamont stated that he had never ordered a meatball sub before, and when he was asked if he would like anything else on it he got nervous and pointed sheepishly at the banana peppers. “There were people behind me waiting for their sandwiches and I didn’t want to think too long…. That’s when it happened…immediately after I pointed, people started snickering. I even heard a little punk whisper to his friend , ”What the fuck?” he said.” If I could do it al over again, I would have gotten a BMT.


Michelle Fark, a two month employee of the sub giant said that she had never ever made a sandwich like that ever.
”When I asked him what else he wanted, I thought maybe extra cheese or maybe even bacon, but never in my wildest dreams did I think banana peppers, Jesus!” Soon after Lamont exited the store holding his sub under his shirt, Fark told her manager Lori Mays about the “pepper man”. The manager immediately posted a sign instructing employees not to ask customers what they would like on their meatball sub in the future, “to avoid further embarrassment”.


Mays later commented that only after the confusion subsided did she realize the magnitude of the order. “I handled it like a professional until I got back in my office, then I practically peed my pants laughing.”


Lamont later said that it’s not that big of a deal. “All I had to do was pick them off, it’s not like I ate it that way”
