Your sole purpose in the Universe is ?????

Well maybe that is a little misleading but you with get the point by the time I am done.

Perhaps Captain Obvious would have been a good title also but I digress....so on to the party.

What is it with people and places that just don't get it?

example #1 -
Drive-thru teller: May I take your order?
You: Toasted Chicken Club Sandwich
Them: Would you like cheese?
You: Please
Them: Mustard, Mayo, or Honey-Mustard?
You: Mustard
Them: Would you like it toasted?
You: ***sound of shotgun being cocked*** what did I order idiot? Toasted Chicken Club - doesn't that imply toasted?


example #2 -
Them: Welcome to KFC can I take your order?
You: Yes I would like a 3 piece dinner..
Them: I'm sorry sir/ma'am we are out of chicken.
You: ....
You: ....
You: .... /stare /glance at the sign above the door /stare
You: I'm sorry did you say your out of chicken?
Them: /annoyed Yes!
You: Exactly what is the purpose of this food outlet? Chicken! and your out? Hmmmm ... what else could you fail to achieve today? breathing? existence? cognitive thought? Are you kidding me? No Chicken? ( this never actually came out of my mouth but it has been in my head ever since.)

They should have just put a closed sign in the window that read..."Closed because we are stupid and have no chicken even though it is the only thing we do."

Oh and for the record I am not the only person to experience this nor was it a one time thing.
I can understand if you had some moronic sale like 5 pieces free if you can tell us what well are supposed to sell here and the whole world came by. I mean even Popeye's brings an extra truckload in for their big sales. However this was just an average day.

I guess Darwin didn't count on the Fast food industry screwing up the "Survival of the fittest" theory. It is amazing that we have evolved so far and yet have these microcosms of complete brain failure that are so prevalent in society.

Okay your task now is to learn your purpose and not screw it up.


P.S. Fathers your sole purpose is to keep your daughter of the pole. (thanks Chris Rock)

  1. Oh my God. It's not only the Detroit area in which KFC's run out of chicken! It's drives us crazy. And they're ALWAYS out of extra crispy. Come on!

  2. Those chicken are wily, at least in our neck of the woods.
