Former McDonald's CEO dead at 44

He provided a fast start to two contestants in the 2005 Dead Pool.

First the Marlboro Man, and now this…

Grim irony.

Which is not to be confused with a golf club that some putz has stored in the chimney flue; i.e., a grimy iron.

Well, I’m off to get a Big Mac for lunch. Who’s with me?

By all accounts, he was a nice guy. Started off working in a McDonalds as a kid, and helped clean tables and talked to the cooks when he’d visit franchises.

Pick me up one without pickles. Gotta work towards that age 30 heart attack now, ya know.

Just wanted to point out that his predecessor was felled by a heart attack, about age 60 IIRC. I think maybe the one before him also died of a heart attack. Pretty soon they’re going to make it a rule that McDonald’s CEOs are not allowed to eat McDonald’s food. Or they’re going to have to keep going for younger and younger CEOs (didn’t they get a young guy this time because of the last two dying soon after being elevated).
Ba da ba dat ba… I’m lovin’ it!

No, but the founder of McDonald’s Japan did after the first guy did.
