All My Sandwiches [updated with working link]

I just discovered something in the US Tax code that may greatly impact your life if you eat many sandwiches.  According to IRS code 1058(c), Subsection A:

This statute governs the manufacture, consumption and distribution of portable comestibles composed of pieces of meat or cheese or spreadable foodstuffs placed between two pieces or, less commonly, on top of a single piece, of bread (hereafter referred to as “sandwiches” and “open-faced sandwiches” respectively).  Whosoever manufactures in excess of 150 sandwiches per annum (for personal consumption, commerce or display) must produce full and clear record of said sandwiches for submission to the Internal Revenue Service concurrent with the filing of one’s personal income tax.

I eat sandwiches almost every day–well in excess of the 150 sandwich/year limit.  Yet I have not recorded even a single one of these conveniently self-contained meals!  So to stay compliant with the US tax code I have started a blog documenting every sandwich I make: allmysandwiches.tumblr.com.   Please inform your sandwich-making friends that they may be breaking the law if they don’t compulsively photograph their lunches.
