so what if i found a loose hair on my mcdonald's cheeseburger the other day? i mean, it's not as if it was ground into the beef or anything like that. and once detected, i was able to easily take hold of the single blond strand between my thumb and forefinger and pluck it from my slightly undercooked patty. problem solved. so what's the big deal? my dining partner at the time urged me to request a replacement burger. a replacement burger? my slightly undercooked burger wasn't the problem. the hair was the problem. and once the hair was no more, there was no more problem with the hair. jeez.
and while i'm on the subject, what exactly is the big fuss about finding a hair in one's food anyway? after all, the hair on my cheeseburger was most definitely a human hair. hey, we all belong to the same species, don't we? and the hair certainly appeared clean enough. i mean, it was shiny and lustrous and all that. and do you really think there were more germs on that hair than on the kitchen counter top where that hair and my burger first joined forces? i mean, c'mon now people. give your head a shake.
alright, now rather than a loose human hair, let's pretend that i had found... let's pretend i had found, say, a couple of mouse droppings on my burger the other day. now if that had been the case, chances are i would have most likely asked for that replacement burger. or perhaps i may have even passed on the replacement burger and demanded a full refund in lieu of a replacement burger. but that wasn't the case. no, i found a blond, detachable hair on my burger the other day. a clean hair. a human hair. that was the scenario i was faced with. those were the circumstances i was forced to confront.

this should make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, assuming you have hair on the back of your neck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c7x2JD_j-0

your life is interesting sir LOL and your view of the situation was too
ReplyDeleteSigh… it is me again, the one and only “Anonymous Daily Blogger”. After a long and tiring week of exams, what better way to relax than reading a blog as I continue to listen to “Hey Soul Sister” by Train and enjoy real Chinese delicacies instead of that mock Chinese food from across the street. And if I found a hair in my burger, I would definitely ask for a replacement one. And besides, the loose hair that appeared to be shiny and lustrous could have been a result of oily hair. Greasy hair does so happen to share similar appearances and characteristics as clean hair. And who needs extra grease in their burgers? McDonalds’ cheeseburgers are already flowing with excess oils and fatty acids. And since you haven’t decided to incorporate your daily views of the sporting events that occurred on each day in your blog, what about adding your views about the upcoming movies to go along with your already existing, “Quote of the Day”?

ReplyDeleteI think you would react differently if it was a glob of hair rather than a single strand of hair.

ReplyDeletereally? who says "yay"?
ReplyDeletei know you're referring to me as the "kid who says yay" but i swear, that comment above was not from me.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, why would I say "yay" anywhere on your blog?
no, really. Who is the "anonymous daily blogger"? I want to know.
