Would you like fries with that?

In today's magnificent batch of junk mail, I found this coupon from the local Ford dealership. At first, I thought it was a great idea, but the more you think about it, the worse this coupon seems. I mean, who makes the sandwich? The guy changing your oil? While you're sitting in the car, does a greasy hand reach up from underneath the car and hand you the food? What if you want a drink? Do they offer Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and 10W-30 Pepsi? Do I need another drink in 3,000 miles? There are a lot of unanswered questions with this coupon.




The other thing that bothers me is the unnecessary disclaimer that says "diesel extra". I'm ordering a sandwich. It would be foolish of me to expect them to throw diesel in for free. They don't do it with guacamole, so why would I expect it with diesel. I would be mad, however, if they charged me more than the price at the pump for it. Personally, I'll stick with mustard.

Great to read something new and see all your great pics. Your title/heading is awesome!! I am blog challenged. My blog looks stupid. I have got to find more time to spiff it up like yours.

I'm sure the hands of the guy changing your oil are much cleaner than the 16 year old working at McDonalds. Eat up.

I think you should send this to Jay Leno's 'Headlines.'
