The best hamburger I ever had was at a Burger King on Airport Road in Mobile. This was nearly 40 years ago.

Never had a good one at a Burger King since.

Funny you should mention that! Shortly after my daughter was born, I was working 3 jobs. One of which was a software store in a shopping mall. Downstairs there was a Burger King, and during my break I'd get a Whopper. It was really good.

My daughter's now 37. Haven't been to Burger King since. :-)

That reminds me of something which interested me. Not sure if it does anyone else.

Around 1965, I worked at a Summer retreat. One of the staffers was a basketball star. Maybe 6’5”, blond and handsome as a movie star. As one might guess, all the girls were gaga over him.

Around 10 years later, I was attending a 13 week training session at an Atlanta hotel complex. I had just been hired as a Federal Agent.

One day I walked over to a Burger King for lunch. There with 4 kids, none of them over maybe 9 years old was the old star athlete. We caught up on what had happened over the last 10 years.

It turned out he had married the prettiest girl on the staff. I married one from another Summer who was also a babe. Haven’t heard from him since. They probably have a dozen by now.
