Oh come on. It’s not your age, I’m sure you’re lovely.

I guess I’m like George Costanza when he didn’t get the meaning of “buy you a cup of coffee” on Seinfeld. I didn’t mean it that way.

I can’t buy you a drink in the biblical sense or a cup of coffee only because I’m married with children.

I meant buy you a drink in the literal sense. Like, I would buy you a drink.

You’re too tense. It’s OOOOO-KAAAAAAAY. Really.

And I meant “a cup of coffee” in the literal sense, George.

:D

Why? They don’t have fruit and vegetable carts in your local airport?

Eat an apple instead of a Big Mac. Don’t make the Gubmint ban fast food in airports to save health care costs.

Mark the date and time of this post down. If you told somebody that they would ban smoking in private business establishments today when in 1988 all John Banzhaf wanted was some non smoking sections on airplanes, most people would have thought you nuts.

There will be a ban on fast food in airports and stadiums within 20 years.

I remembered this after your posts.
Thought each of you might find it interesting if you hadn’t read it.

The idea stemmed from an experience a decade earlier, when Japan was still ravaged by postwar poverty. In “The Story of the Invention of Instant Ramen,” an autobiography published in 2002, Mr. Ando told of walking through the rubble-strewn streets of Osaka.

“I happened to pass this area and saw a line 20, 30 meters long in front of a dimly lit stall from which clouds of steam were steadily rising,” he wrote. “People dressed in shabby clothes shivered in the cold while waiting for their turn. The person who was with me said they were lined up for a bowl of ramen.”

You are right.

Try to tell a hungry person that they can’t have a Big Mac and french fries because it is “bad for them.”

Not something I would do. Hungy is hungry.
I have never heard of a pantry giving that out anyway.

But...
“ Try to take it out of their hands.

I will turn my head and read about your horrible beating death in the paper tomorrow.

If that article is right I am more afraid of getting sat on. lol

Some jerk in Hollywood would may read your post and try to make a reality TV show out of such an idea. “Big Mac Retrieval”.
That would really be a sign of the Apoclaypse.

More problems created by evil republicans that will dissappear immediately when a democrat takes the white house.

Yes, I sure can always stand some renovation but I'd think this lady would be wore out chasing after those little kids all day. (No! Now don't you dare tell me I need three toddlers.)
