i'm not proud of this
but.. i went to BK for lunch today (it wasn't my choice) and so i'm half joking with a friend...
"i'll have a whopper jr meal please
"would you like to super size that?"
we get a small chuckle out of that...
then i finally earn my spot at the hallowed point of order and yes i'd like a number 3 (whopper jr value meal) and what do you suppose happens??? you guessed it...
"would you like cheese on that?"
"no thank you (i'm not really believing that it's actual cheese anyway)"
"would you like that regular, large, or supersize?"
"um.. regular please" (I know that your only trying to appease the king by selling more stuff but hey... it's a whopper JR... i'm trying to minimize the crap that i'm going to ingest. oh wait.. maybe i'd just love a refillable gallon sized cup of soda and a pick up truck load of french fried potatoey sort of things. at least i think they have some sort of potato-ness about them... i'm a cynic remember?) now i'm not trying to say that i don't enjoy BK once in a while. but isn't that sort of an insult to my intelligence. sort of?? did i say sort of?do i look like one of those people who go back for a refill on their diet soda... hmmmm.
"for here or to go?"
oh definitely for here... i want to do some people watching...
On another more serious front... sometimes it's easier to see the foolishness of others... even society in general... but it's not so easy to see how you yourself may have been foolish or unwise about something... heck.. especially if you are "comfortable." it either takes some unbiased self examination, the counsel of someone you trust or perhaps both. i always thought that i was pretty smart and a step above the norm and pretty much incapable of fooling myself... the farther i get the more foolish i see that to be.... so who's up for some people watching???
don't be a stranger
