Burgertime

Once in a while the golden arches will offer their hamburgers at a cut-rate price. According to the talking stick-figure on TV, hamburgers were to be forty-nine cents today. I always ask myself if they're just unloading surplus beef patties on days like these yet I have no choice but to patronize the establishment. As usual on days like this, the neighborhood restaurant was way more crowded than usual. We stand in line and pretend that we don't want to be there or we at least claim to not be regular diners. Everybody seemed to be discussing: the number of burgers they were going to purchase, how many burgers their husbands would probably order, what else will they order with the burgers. It seems that McDonald's brought out the folks who normally don't eat there on a regular basis. They probably made a lot of money. Way to bribe the customers, Ronald. Four burgers can't be wrong.
