This is another riddle. And I’m going to use it to gauge if what I just experienced is part of American culture or just a bizarre experience.
\nI will moderate your comments so as to not give away the clue (if there is one).
\nThis Friday I was driving a car in Cincinnati, Ohio.
\nWith me were my wife, her daughter and the daughter’s boyfriend.
\nAt some point we passed a fast food restaurant and everyone (except me) started to yell.
\nThey HAD to eat there! They hadn’t had THAT in YEARS.
\nThat was SOOOO good .. they couldn’t believe we were so fortunate to run into (actally: pass) one of ‘those’.
\nThey made me turn around.
\nI parked. We went in. My wife ordered the food and returned to our table with …
\n(I’m not making this up!) … TWENTY hamburgers!
\nDid I mention there were only four of us?
\nI ate 5, my wife ate 4, her daughter ate 5 and the boyfriend, not a big guy at all, ate 8.
\nI know, that doesn’t add up to 20, but in all fairness, I only ate 3, but when we walked back to the car I burped … and two came back up.
\nAs a further hint I can tell that for the 20 hamburgers, 4 servings of French fries and four soda’s my wife paid … $14.99
\nA further hint is that the next day we agreed that it hadn’t been such a great experience after all.
\nWe were STILL tasting the stuff, that now was being described as “pure grease and salt”.
\nI personally agree with the “grease and salt”, but not with the “pure”. I think it was half-recycled industrial waste. Probably radio-active as well!
\nSometimes you get what you pay for!
\nANYWAY … was this just a fluke or could you think of the name of the hamburger joint we visited?<\/p>\n
