Then again, I'm not pumping fuel 'cause I believe it to be my God given destiny.

1. I don't like cars and the crazy drivers here even less.
2. Buying all that fuel fuels terrorism and gives some camel-bangers a political and economical hammer to wack the few better peoples of the world with.
3. Also that contaminating, global-warming thingy. But hey, if God wanted them trees to live he wouldn't have invented fire and saws, right? :wink:

The movie The Jerk suddenly comes to mind for some reason.

Are you saying a merc is has a "right" reason or a "wrong" reason? Not really clear which side of the equation that comment was aimed at.

I didn't realise you worked in a petrol station, Orald. Nearly all the stations in the UK are self-service, we have to get out of our cars to fill up. Oh, and there's a strike by delivery drivers at the moment in the UK so petrol stations are starting to run out of fuel already.

You get the picture? There's no point in shuting up just 'cause someone's relative(or someone him/herself IS) a cop.

You can curse whomever you like.

It's still incredibly stupid to say that all cops are evil and bad.

I was asking you the same. I don't have a problem with being paid to(possiblly) kill people.
One could argue that patriotic reasons are "better", but that also depends on each case.

Well, some murders are justified, so I guess if some murderers(and not even talking about self defence here) aren't "evil and bad" then you might be right, but I'll have to see a good cop before I believe they exist. :wink:

And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger.
A "double" burger for less than a dollar? You fucking kidding me! :shock:
Still in today's values?

McDonald's does have doubles for $.99, I believe, but Burger King charges $1.99 for a double cheeseburger. It's worth the dollar, though.

Ah, still, 1-2$, I haven't actually been to any of them here(or anywhere) but it sounds cheap.

That's the lure. It's been said that out of cheap, fast, and good, you only get to pick two.

Guess which two fast food went for?

Yea, but if you just pick up once a day for lunch, it's not that bad.

With all my standing, running around(not to mention bloody Everest hiking to and fro my home) I'm surprised I haven't burned myself down to a skeleton. I'm sure I'm shaping up every day.

Or was it "breaking up and coming a little closer to dying"? :?

Clever, but yes.

Speaking of fast food, I just had a quarter pounder with cheese from Mickey D's, and it was fantastic. I haven't had fast food in a while, so maybe that's why.

The only fast food I regularly eat is burritos, but when I do get burgers I like Wendy's .99 menu. Most of their menu items are a heart attack waiting to happen, but the 99 cent stuff is small enough to not kill you.
