Complete story — includes the ending

Larry nearly drowns while swimming alone in the sea, and becomes convinced divine intervention saved him. He is initially excited when Jeff tells him that Leo's delicatessen has named a sandwich after him, but is upset after hearing the sandwich's unappetizing contents. Cheryl is annoyed with Larry for taking a phone call from Jeff during intercourse with her. Larry and his father Nat go to Leo's; Nat orders and enjoys Larry's sandwich but suffers a stroke. Larry blames the sandwich's contents for the stroke. At the hospital, Nat mumbles what sounds like "You're adopted", both shocking and elating Larry, but Nat denies having said that once he is recovered. Larry attempts to get Ted Danson, who also has a Leo's sandwich named after him, to switch sandwiches. Danson agrees until Jeff tells him what is in Larry's sandwich. Larry writes a letter to his former nanny, Johanna Seiderman, who he believes may know if he is adopted. The Deli owner (who is adopted) hears that Larry is adopted and lets him put his name on any sandwich on the menu. Larry chooses Ted Danson's. A care worker at Seiderman's nursing home phones Larry during sex with Cheryl, but this time he does not take it. Seiderman tells the worker that she had the answer to his question, then immediately dies.
