Mmmmmmm…chicken… A word of warning: Many, many moons ago, whilst working the drive-through window of a small purveyor of petroleum distillate, I was prevailed upon by a passing motorist to dispose of a bag of trash for them (as the garbage can thoughtfully provided for them thirty feet yonder was evidently too far out of their way). Seeing the “Hardee’s” logo on the side of the bag, and figuring thusly that it most likely contained the remains of a meal from said establishment, I accepted the parcel, and disposed of it in the trash receptacle inside the kiosk in which I was housed. As a disturbing odor began making itself more and more obvious, I finally checked the bag to see what Hardee’s was putting on their burgers these days that wafted so rankly to my quivering nostrils. Dirty baby diapers. _Really_ dirty. I’m just sayin’. Bag O’ Food at the side of the road? Leave it for the crows. It isn’t worth the risk. Funny story, though. Sounds like that “runner’s high” got the better of you. ---

Herr Eutychus, a moment, please. May I see your papers? Danke. This is very bad, Herr Eutychus. Very bad indeed. Your papers are not… in order. This one goes first, then this one, _then_ this one. Here. Do not let this happen again. Good evening. ---
