Duke: That was great I cried with laughter. This guy could always go to Burger King and have it his way but I don't think they'll even do that any more. You should write Neukom and Warden and offer your services. Although Jackson didn't like Warden's wry sense of humor. I really loved the part about tying with Amalgamated lettuce. Keep postin' JFD

>>This guy, Duwight, walks into a McDonald's and says: give me a Big (i)Mac hamburger without the seven secret herbs and spices. The clerk says, sorry sir, the way we make our money we don't vary our orders, we just serve the most popular taste on a sort of assembly line basis. This guy says, Let me speak to your manager, I want to know about your secret tying agreement with Amalgamated Lettuce.<< That analogy is rubbish. A more correct analogy is that MS-Burger Inc supplies all the burger sellers (McDonalds, Burger King, etc) with sauce because it has an effective monopoly. If Burger King decides to sell ONE burger without MS-Sauce, then it suffers severe financial penalties.
