A CYNICAL LOOK AT THE DAILY GRIND

FORKED AGAIN

Does this upset anyone else but me?


Every time I order out or get fast food, there are always too many utensils in the bag or too many ketchup packets.

I have enough soy sauce and hot mustard packets in my refrigerator to sauce down all the rice in China. And, I don't know why I can't throw them away, especially the plastic forks.

So there they sit in a drawer, waiting to be used someday.

I hate how gluttony and wastefulness makes Americans look.

Then again, the late President Ronald Reagan would have turned this ketchup packet into a smorgasbord for schoolchildren.

STUCK IN THE FAST LANE

Ah yes, yet another McDonald's incident.

Time ran out for one clown after he was a little slow picking up his fast food at a McDonald's drive-through in Camden, Ark.


Terrance Forte, 32, was found asleep behind the wheel with his engine running and right foot on the brake after employees called police saying they had been waiting 15 minutes for Forte to drive from the first window to the second window.

Forte offered the cops $10 for his food order when they woke him up. Not surprisingly, his blood alcohol level registered at 0.19, more than twice the legal limit. He was cited for his third drunk-driving charge and later released.

If I were a betting woman, I'd say Forte fell asleep waiting on the slow McFlatfoots to get his order together.

Let this be a lesson. Hit the always-ready-for-drunks White Castle instead.
