While there are many easy ways to sneak booze into events, one woman learned that a bottle in a salami sandwich is not one of them.
A woman was busted in England over the weekend trying to conceal a 350-milliliter bottle of vodka as the filling of her sandwich, along with salami and tomato.

As the Telegraph notes, security guards were tipped off by the weight of the “sandwich,” and asked the woman to open it for inspection.
Usually, security would confiscate the booze – but, they were so impressed, they offered to give it back to the woman after the race.
“We usually confiscate the alcohol and destroy it, but on this occasion, impressed by the lady’s ingenuity, we decided she could collect it after racing had finished,” a spokesperson for the track told Fox News. “Needless to say, she didn’t collect the bottle and it is still sat in the racecourse office.”
Hmmm…maybe she was too tipsy to remember to pick it up?
Twitter found the whole incident hilarious.
