Well back in the 90's a ham sandwich did choke to death some super obese woman celebrity. I don't know her name I only know of it secondhand because I don't watch that kind of entertainment television crap that I think she was.

I think you heard a fat joke and confused it with a fact.

You may be thinking of Mama Cass in the late 70s, who died of a heart attack but was popularly cited as choking on a ham sandwich?

That is it, momma cass.

So the ham sandwich was framed? Those bastards! I think I did hear that before but didn't retain the information well.
