Lady Earns Engagement Ring by Making 300 Sad Sandwiches for Her Man
ERIN GLORIA RYAN
For “lady” she has not been given a name; so she lacks an identity
Ladies are usually older & they should know better then being pushed around by men
Engagement & Sad is a pun because engagement is something happy and they use sad in the same sentence.
Alliteration “sad Sandwiches”

A New York City gossip reporter revealed herself today to be the woman behind 300 Sandwiches, a food blog she started because her boyfriend once told her that if she made him 300 sandwiches, he'd buy her an engagement ring. So why isn't this already a terrible straight-to-Blockbuster movie starring overgrown Disney Channel stars? Probably because a movie about Stephanie Smith's arrangement with her boyfriend sounds — how do I put this gently — like a bit of a shit sandwich.

Stephanie Smith's attempts to pass her boyfriends demands as somehow cute, like a big-eyed puppy in a vest scratching the door to go outside, only serve to make her situation sound worse. Here's Smith explaining, in her own words, the adorawful way the 300 Sammichesproject came about.
Desperation
Needy
Dependent
Simile
Each morning, he would ask, “Honey, how long you have been awake?”
“About 15 minutes,” I’d reply.
“You’ve been up for 15 minutes and you haven’t made me a sandwich?”
To him, sandwiches are like kisses or hugs. Or sex. “Sandwiches are love,” he says. “Especially when you make them. You can’t get a sandwich with love from the deli.”
"You've been up for 15 minutes and you haven't made me a sandwich?" is bound to go down in history as one of the great lines of romantic prose. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? I don't know, can the summer's day make me a fucking sandwich?
Her love is not avail. Anywhere
But maybe I'm rushing to judgment. Maybe things get better as the article progresses (spoiler alert: things will not). Take it away, Ms. Smith:

Eric devoured the sandwich

Traditional environment the manager plan and assigns all work, while also determining the job that is needed done.

    Creating the notion that advances from men, even from an early age is approachable; this is demonstrated with a question from Emma Rush, ‘[I] is it wise to actively encourage girls of primary school age to have romantic fantasies about older men? How do we then expect them to behave if an older man approaches apparently offering romance’ (Rush 2006), consequently even from a young age girls are socialised into thinking unwanted conduct of behaviour from men are normal behaviour of the other gender, they are being influenced into the myth of gender oppression by the other gender, from an already very young…

    In The Club Sandwich, the young officer vows that he will uphold the ethics he learned from the academy. I feel that if he made this vow he should keep it, in the code of ethics it states” I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the police service.” In witch also in Article 9 of Canons of police ethics it states “He shall guard against placing himself in a position which any person can reasonably assume that special consideration is being given. Thus, Her should be firm in reusing gifts, favors, or gratuities, large or small, that can, in the public mind, be interpreted as capable if influencing his/her judgment in the discharge of his/her duties.”…
