Technically they'd probably be rectangular rather than square, but anyway the main reason triangular sandwiches are better is there is a greater bread to crust ratio

Some more...

-At the gym, there’s always someone who nonchalantly walks around naked.

-Ring tones ruin every song.

-Good music was made (and continues to be made) in every decade and people who claim otherwise, tend to have stopped listening to music in whatever decade they say was the best.

-Anything described as the ‘feel-good movie of the year’, is crap

Here's mine:
Despite going for a pee just before setting off, you will always be desperate for another within thirty minutes of setting off on a long journey.

The above does NOT WORK for short journeys.

It's really annoying when people post aren't-I-an-observant-little-**** "lists" on the Internet. You hate the bloody things but can't resist going through them and secretly nodding in agreement
