If you watched ANY television in the 1980s, you’re all infected! One new exposure – new outbreak! To wit: “Hamburger. Filet O Fish. Quarter Pounder. French Fries. Icy Coke. Thick Shakes.

I made everyone in the room hate me last weekend by uttering one sentence … _I’m really glad they made the Children’s Aid Society._ For McDonald’s, I always find myself singing the one where the little girl is at her piano recital, playing _Fur Elise_. _…and I can have my big choc-o-late shake And cheese-bur-ger And also fries._ ---
