Where's the Beef?

We had one of our corporate bigwigs visiting us today. It was more of a "get to know you" meeting, so there wasn't a lot of pressure on us and we weren't going to get yelled at. Better yet, we were going to get fed. I thought we were going to get lunch, instead we got breakfast. Not that I'm complaining, but I didn't pack anything and our cafeteria is still just a pipe dream.

Did anyone say Mickey D's?

I headed over for a quick drive-thru run. Now I don't know about you, and I may be dating myself badly, but every time I go through a drive-thru, I think of Joe Pesci in Lethal Weapon 2. Doesn't everyone? That was a great movie, back when Mel Gibson was still cool, before he got all anti-semitic.

Riggs (Mel) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover, before he got all anti-American) take Leo (Pesci) to the drive-thru. Leo yells about how they "F--- you at the drive-thru. They know you're gonna be miles away before you find out you got f---ed!" [This is a family blog.]

This Mickey D's I went to seemed to be really on the ball. There was a long line of cars, but they had a girl walking car to car to take orders. (Mine: two small cheeseburgers and a diet Coke.) I was able to pay quickly at the first window and my order was waiting for me at the second. I was on the road and back in my office before I knew it.

I unwrapped a burger and took a bite. Then I realized why they were able to get my order done so quickly: they didn't put a burger on it. Where's the beef?

I thought I heard Leo yelling down the hall: "They f--- you at the drive-thru!"
