In 1977 Elvis choked to death on the ham sandwich that killed Cass Elliot in 1974. Elvis purchased the deadly sandwich from John Phillips for $2 with plans to utilize it for suicidal purposes. By August of 1977 Elvis was desperate: his wife had turned ****, his hair was falling out, his daughter was homely. It was under these dark clouds that Elvis turned to his only friend: a half-eaten, 3-year-old, frozen ham sandwich. One night, when everyone was sleeping, Elvis summoned Rick Stanley to his private bedroom chamber. โRicky, I'm hungry! Fetch Mama Cass's ham sandwich!โ Rick did as ordered. Several hours later Elvis was dead. The ham sandwich was totally destroyed by Elvis' digestive system is what the public was told. November 1979: Yoko Ono buys two-fifths of a frozen ham sandwich from singer John McCartney (cousin to Paul) for $2. In early December of 1980 John Lennon's bullet-ridden corpse is cremated along with the contents of his stomach: a partially-digested ham sandwich.
