The History Of The Cheese Steak
Sub-A Story Of Biblical Proportions

The year was 25 AD. It was Christ's birthday and the Apostles wanted to celebrate by treating Jesus to something other than fish. Quite frankly, that Wedding At Cana bit where ol' Jeez multiplied those two fish had pretty much put everyone off seafood, except for Mark, who could eat it three times a day, seven days a week. He had an Omega 3 deficiency.

Anyway, they scoured the countryside looking for a place that served something other than fish. They passed a zillion fish joints. Mollusks 'R' Us...Eel City...In Cod We Trust (never go there, they don't change the frying oil)...Herod's House Of Halibut...The Tilapia Tent...If You Knew Sushi Like I Know Sushi....The Dapper Snapper...Long John Silvers (Mary Magdalen claimed that was a lie), and Red Lobster... to name a few.

Finally, they happened upon a little hut with a sign that read, Luigi's Sub Shack. It was run by a little old Italian man named Mario. Paul ordered first, since he was the most sick of fish. (His wife is the famous Mrs. Paul, who makes those sticks.) Paul ordered a meatball sub. Luke, who they nickamed Puke 'cause he could never keep anything down, ordered a sausage parmigiana. Peter ordered the Genoa salami sub, and Jesus asked for a steak sandwich. Luigi was getting all flustered at these orders being yelled at him at the same time so he says, "Just a minute-a! Let-a me getta this-a straight. Paul wantsa the meat-a-ball, Puke wantsa the sausage-a parmigiana, Peter wantsa the salami, and a Jeez-a..steak! I got it! Now John and Matthew were next, but John was dumb and Matthew was almost deaf, they thought he said Cheese Steak instead of Jeez-a...steak.

So they ordered Cheese Steaks, upon which Luigi layered some White American cheese being that he had just run out of mozzarella. Well they just went nuts over this sandwich!

The rest is history. So, the next time some jerkoff from Philly claims that the sub comes from the kitchen of someone in Philadelphia, just say, "JESUS CHRIST! IT DID NOT!" That should shut them up.
