Well Don, we've run flat out of ideas on how to scr*w our customers.
No problem Ron, I've been working on a new idea on how we can burn
them with our coffee!
Wow! Sounds great, Don!

were afraid that a few customers would complain because they were used to

Anyway, McD is long over this incident and more

Leaching carcinogens into the coffee all the while! How anyone can stand to
drink from a hot Styrofoam cup is beyond me. I can taste the chemicals in

If that makes you mad, you should hear some of the
