The other day, we went to McDonald's for lunch. This particular McDonald's had a play area (bleck). So while the kids happily played in the smelly, sticky, grimy play structure, I found my self bored. Bored beyond belief. SO bored, I began to read everything I could find.
Including my receipt. Turning it over, I discovered an exciting, multi-colored announcement.
A WEEKLY PRIZE OF $1000!
Hmmmm . . . I could use $1000. Wait a minute . . . is that small print?
or Other weekly prizes.
Ah-ha. So much for my $1000 prize. Shoot. That was going to go toward a hot tub.
WINNER$ EVERY WEEK!
Well, I suppose winning something, even if it isn't $1000, is still better than nothing. What do I have to do?
Please visit (Por favor visita)
www.mcdonalds-survey.com
OK, a survey. How hard could that be?
But what's this? More small print . . .
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open only to legal residents of the US and Canada (other than the Province of Quebec), 15 years of age and older. In order to win, a Canadian resident must correctly answer a skill testing question.
Huh!? What in the heck is a skill testing question? What sort of skills would they need to test?
~How well can you peel the wrapper off a McDonald's hamburger?
~Are you actually able to get a Happy Meal toy to work?
~Can you get the right amount of ice in your soda cup on the first try?
~Can you scrape the mini-diced onions off the bun without losing all your ketchup & mustard?
Geez, life must be tough for those poor Canadians.

I hate those play toys inside restaurants! Do you remember when we were in Mississippi and Nicole was only 3 and that little boy trapped her in the tube and spit on her? SHE STILL REMEMBERS!!! (and it's been over 4 yrs ago!) Jared and Micah came to her rescue and found the kid and threatened him in a secluded tube of their own! Her heroes! Ah...memories...
McDonalds...I can smell the grease from here. Nothing like those hot greasy McDonalds French fries to bouy one's spirit. yummmm.
I think Canadians have to be able to identify the exact metric equivalents for every unit of measurement represented at the average McDonalds.
Is fast food really consistent with adherence to the Word Of Wisdom? I don't understand why LDS people don't shun such places.

Jim,
Shun McDonalds? We (speaking of the LDS who actually live by the standards) don't smoke, don't drink, don't have pre-marital sex, "most" don't even drink caffeine. AND give up fast food? Sheesh...we're good and all, but not THAT good. Viva La McDonalds!
P.S. Canadians are a little bit kookie, but I love nanaimo bars. heh heh. :)
