Sanctimonious Subway Story Search Sinks....

The Subway Sandwich shop franchise decided to have a nationwide contest for sandwich stories. Then some wonk with a personal agenda decided to insert his/her two cents worth in the rules -- unfortunately he/she mostly inserted his/her foot -- Here, you read the rules:

It appears to this Ole Boy, that whatever liberal Subway policy wonk wrote these rules might have benefited from some Home Schooling. At least he/she might have learned how to spell "basket" and "United", don't ya' reckon?
