This shop is offering free food, but only for Liam Neeson

Sometimes, aiming high pays off. It certainly did for Big Star Sandwich in Canada.

Word got round that the film star Liam Neeson was filming in the New Westminster area, so the eatery attempted to lure him in with promise of free sandwichs.

And low and behold - it worked:

Not even A list celebrities can resist the lure of the sandwich. Turns out they're just like the rest of us after all.

Now. I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you give me free sandwiches, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I will ask you for free sandwiches.
