Is eating a sandwich an inherently Satanic act?

John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, was a known member of London's Hellfire Club. It was he who ordered his manservant to "fetch me some slices of roast beef, wrapped in bread - can't have the old fingers getting greasy, eh what!" to sustain him at the gambling table - hence the eponymous 'sandwich'.
As Lord of the Admitalty he was also the patron of Captain James Cook, so visiting Australia might be a Satanic act as well ...

    Not so much Satanic as Wiccan perhaps and perhaps not so much difference between the two.

    I don't get the connection between sandwiches and satanic acts. If it's a pun, I am clueless.

    How embarrassing. I should have thought of that. I haven't even started drinking yet.

    Nope. John Montagu, the Earl for whom the ubiquitous comestible is named, was a devil worshipper. It's the kind of crap the Westboro Baptists would run with - "it's named for a devil worshipper so you can't have it."
