# So lets get this right...
In the time it took for the adverse affects of the sandwich to take effect, we are expected to believe that this simplistic looking wide eyed, non gender specific creature somehow invented a way of calling themselves in the past rather than pinning their hopes on the NHS and just ringing an ambulance. Makes sense to me :)

# though
eating the sandwich may well have lead to the discovery of the Nokia 88T [T: temporal] mobile communicator, which in itself threatens the integrity of the timeline, which in turn may bring about a causality collapse of historic proportions.. which, obviously, needs to be averted.. hence the call back in time to prevent the future which results in a call back in time.. err.. yes.. collapse.. temporal.. emmental..

# And of course each phone call would have to be quite short
dependant on how far into the future the original phone call was from to ensure that you're not engaged from talking to yourself from another possible future, which would of course mean that the engaged future could not be averted leading to the collapse of the original future, and the following of a future event that needs to be averted or why would you ring yourself? Thank God for voicemail, or we'd all be doomed

# this is exactly why
i keep a backup copy of my mobile phone call records.. that way i'll always know when i'm available in the past or present for the future!! You know it makes sense!

# If I could phone myself in the past I would tell me to buy some teabags this morning.

# see..
this is exactly the kind of aparently non-invasive, history changing, elementary events that we need to stop before they happen, in advance!

Imagine the consequences!

Tealess, the world is safe!

To hell with the consequences! Where's that timephone?

# "This is your last chance.
After this, there is no turning back. You don't eat the sandwich - the tea ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.

You eat the sandwich - you find teabags in the cupboard and I show you how deep the teacup goes."

# *Swallows sandwich*
The teacup is approx 4 inches deep.

A disappointing and premature ending
