Ketchup at the Drive-Thru

I think everyone knows what happens at the drive-thru and you don't need me or Joe Pesci to explain it to you. Well, today I visited the drive-thru at the local Hardee's. Lo and behold my food was actually correct and not half-bad, either.

"So what's this about, Chris? You're not going to start blogging what you eat at every meal are you?"

I asked for ketchup at the window. You know, for my fries. When I got back to the office I found **ketchup**! I was given - free of charge - eighteen packets of ketchup. Mind you, it was just me, not the cast of Eight Is Enough. That's a lot of ketchup for one small order of fries.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. At other times I've been to drive-thrus and asked for extra ketchup only to discover that translated into two packets of ketchup.

This whole ketchup post reminds me of a joke I often tell about a family of tomatoes, but I'll save that for another time.

[If you don't get the Joe Pesci reference, Google "joe pesci drive-thru lethal weapon" without the quotes to find an audio clip, but be warned there's ample profanity.]
