What's with the one napkin?!
Friday, April 10, 2009 by Brysgirl | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Why is it that every time I go thru a drive thru, regardless of what I order, they always give me just one napkin? I could order 2 happy meals and 2 value meals and they will put 1 napkin in the bag! Are they kidding me? The thing is that every one does this especially McDonalds, Wendys and Dunkin Donuts. We go to Dunkin Donuts almost every Sunday morning on the way to church. This week my hubby got smart; he said, "4 bagels w/ cream cheese, a coffee, and 2 orange juices, oh, and some extra napkins please." We received our order- 4 bagels with cream cheese, a coffee, 2 orange juices, and , you guessed it, 2 napkins!!! 
Is there a shortage of trees in the USA? Is this stupidness only happening in the Midwest?

That just about sums it up, Jafo...
No wonder I chunder.... it's a Big Mac from MacChunder.
Dunno what they do to the alleged food, but I tried it a couple of times about 30 years ago (must've been drunk the second time) and both times it had a distinct chunderous flavour I didn't like... then about 18 months ago when I met my daughter for lunch, same thing, the same chunderous flavour in a wrap thingy with salad stuff in it. One mouthful (which I spat out) and I threw it in the garbage.
Needless to say, lunch is not on if people want to meet at MacChunders... no matter how many napkins they throw on the tray.

Aaaah, now I know why you have stopped getting skid marks on your underpants, the ex son- in -law is not here anymore , and that is why the toilet paper is lasting eh

Not only that, but they charge through the roof! You'd think that by witholding napkins, they'd at least pass the savings on to their customers! But nooooo!

huge undy skids that otherwise would appear on laundry day... and are hard to explain away to the missus.

Skid Marks? Those weren't skid marks! They were curried cabbage exhaust fumes residue. 
And for those not privvy to the situation, we would go through a toilet roll every day while that waste of space/layabout ex-son-in-law was here. At first we thought it was the 5 yo grandaughter wasting it (as kids sometimes do) but no, it was her recalcitrant father.
That's for sure! How dare they charge so much for alleged food... AND skimp on napkins as well. It's a fast food/retail travesty, I tells ya... a travesty! BYO wine when eating out is one thing, but BYO napkins to clean off the MacChunder excess grease is beyond cheapskate and downright paltry. What's next, having to take your own plastic cutlery to cut/pick up the MacMuck... heaven knows, you wouldn't wanna get it on your fingers.

This reminds me of something funny. The other night, my kids were getting their jammies on before bedtime. My 3-year-old ran out to ask Mommy a question. He was in his underwear. He asked my wife the question, then turned to go back to his room. As he left, my wife & I both saw it...
Skid marks! 
He had the underwear on inside out! His skid marks were on the outside! We just about died laughing!

The first thing my mom taught me was..."The yellow spots go in front,the brown spots go in back"

So! Was that because wash day was once a week on a Friday and you had to wear your cleanest dirty pair 'til then?

You were poor?
We were so poor our underwear was made of old potato sacks with 3 holes cut out for our legs to go through...
... and the skid marks were hardly noticable.

Not exactly... but a bloke needs the third hole, if you know wot I mean.

And for TP, let me guess... you used 1 napkin, right?

Napkin??? Nope, no napkins. We were so poor we had to weave blades of grass together to make our own toilet paper...
... which was NOT (time consumingly) good when you had the runs.

Whats wrong with that? He was obviously saving water by not having to clean them. I mean, c'mon, a perfectly good side of the drawerz was available for use. Your kid seized the moment. I say commendable. I say give this kid an extra donut AND and extra napkin!

Maybe they just figured you're a clean person.. May be more of a "profiling" issue than a shortage of trees lol. Or, you have a picture of yourself in all of these places that says, "Give 1 Napkin.. (2 max.)"

Add rabbit, celery and Mrs. Dash to boiling water. Boil 1/2 hour. Drain.
Use a large plastic bag for Shake and Bake. Put rabbit in bag and shake
until pieces of meat are covered. Fry rabbit with butter until crispy
brown.
