Usually the expression is more like "Nobody can *make* you happy. Nobody can *make* you anything." And I stand by my response: "you can *make* me a sandwich" :-)
Or at least, it wouldn't help for you to right now. After we get home and are stuffed with Indian food, I guess you could make me a sandwich. I'd probably eat it slowly, though.
You've got time to get one quick... Or we could grab ice cream sandwiches after dinner. I don't remember offhand what kind you like, though, so I don't know where would have them.
You know, a while back I ran across a nifty bit in a documentary or something about some guys who would makes stews by lashing small pots to the undersides of their cycle exhausts. By the time they got to where they were going, it was cooked!
Well, I could take big bites out of him and declare him sandwich tasting. Would that qualify? I'll even put his arm between pieces of bread if it'll help.
