Back in the mid-'60s Dick Summer (and, I think, Bruce Bradley) on late night radio on WBZ in Boston would claim it wasn't the Earl of Sandwich who first came up with the idea of slapping some meat in between two hunks of bread, but the Duke of Shrewsbury. Thus what we call a sandwich should actually be called a shrewsbury.

The banter between Dick and Juicy Brucy was legendary, too. I used to listen from Milwaukee 1500 miles away, but only if the weather conditions cooperated. Maybe it's one of the things that made me move to the Boston area years later.

I still remember some of the great lines and jokes the promulgated.
