Jay Leno joke

[Jack]

I know that Burger King was serving a BK veggie . . . that was over a year or two ago and I thought they were tasty. I was happy they had that option for those who may not want beef or fish or chicken.

I ordered one of the BK veggie sandwiches. For the price of the sandwich, I thought that I was going to receive some kind of a soy burger. Instead, I got a bun with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. I felt like saying, "Where's the beef?" It was a rip off.

There should be a soy burger on it. If there wasn't one, go back and tell them to make you a new one. They will, for free most likely. Just don't mention that it's been a long time ago.

The BK veggie was a soy burger with lettuce and tomato and pickles. At least that's what I recieved when I ordered it.
I know that Subway offers a veggie sub(just cold veggies . . . yuck) and a veggie pattie, which is a veg pattie with veggies and cheese(if you wish). The pattie's served hot and tastes pretty good when paired with the veggies you choose. I can't stand raw onions, so I order mine with lettuce, pickles, and a slice of cheese.
If the Subway near you offers a veg pattie sandwich, you may enjoy it.

On wheat bread with so much Italian dressing that it's almost soup-like, the sandwich is delicious!

I love raw onions on mine though (purple ones are so pretty).

Leno needs to just give it to Conan now.

Yeah, he already gave his 5-year notice.

Invariably I am asked whether my coffee is "for here or to go". But it doesn't matter where you consume the coffee; it comes in the same disposable cup with lid. The order taker should punch one of the keys (it doesn't matter which one) and not ask the question. However, if they ask me, I usually tell them the truth that I am going to drink part of it in the store and take the rest with me to go. Then they have to figure out which button to press.

Some places it actually makes a difference because there's no sales tax on dine-in but sales tax is charged on to-go orders. When in given the option, say it's dine-in and then just leave with it. You may not get a sack, but you save 6 percent. The food cops are not going to chase you down.

Some states/commonwealths have sales tax rates above or below 6 percent.

Interestingly, apparently, in China, the concept of a sales tax is nonexistant. I have a friend from China who, when she first got here, was constantly dismayed that something could say "99 cents" and actually cost $1.05.

Am I the only one who notices Leno's speech impediment (lisp) ??

[Wombat]

Am I the only one who guessed the punchline as soon as fries were mentioned?

It's a variant on the 'instant water' joke .... you know, just add water.

That seems to distress British people too; there is tax in Britain but it is included in the displayed price.

Last time I was at the golden arches (which is RARE) they had some low fat dressings, so a salad with grilled chicken actually wasn't a terrible option. And the coffee really IS better these days.
Wendy's salads are really quite tasty. Again, ask for the low fat dressing.

I'll take "The Bloody Obvious" for $1000, Alex.

So much to say, so little time.

First of all, it's not an inherent God given right to go to McDonalds or Burger King. If you don't like their food, don't go there. They are under no obligation to alter their business for anyone.

The name is "Burger King". I believe the word "burger" ought to give away the idea that they serve MEAT. They may cook their fries in MEAT oil. MEAT may come in contact with other products.

To sue or complain because you might get FAT eating at a greasy spoon that has a MEAT product in their very name is like complaining because you stick your head in an oven and get burned.


Those lawsuits are frivolous, absurd and based on three very fundamental errors.
Error 1: Because of TV you are somehow obligated to eat at McDonalds.
Error 2: You have a basic right as a human being to eat at McDonalds
Error 3: A business should cater to the whims of every individual based on errors 1 and 2 or on personal religious beliefs.

My name is not Alex.

Too flaming right! The number of times I was standing at the cashpoint with what I thought was the right change, but no, it's 6% more. Yeah, okay, you are used to it - the old excuse "We've always done it this way" but can't you get it into your heads that to have a price marked on an article and to charge a different amount is just plain WRONG!
And if you tried it in this country you would be UP IN COURT!

And anyway, let's hear it for White Castle Burgers!
Half a dozen of them is very nearly a meal!
