Have a Fortune Biscuit Your Way?

Sure, I could’ve just thrown it away..but Monday mornings are slow at the office here and I’ve always liked to play with wrappers. So I took my time with my Burger King sausage biscuit and savored it's outside as well as it's meaty, flaky inside. I'm feeling insanely loopy today, a rarity, so I'm hoping each bite was helping to balance out the karmic wackiness I had absorbed from the universe. MmmmmMmmmm Flaky, flaky, flaky.

And if I hadn't stopped to read my sandwich wrapper I wouldn't have noticed these words staring translucently at me through a circle of grease. What? A message? For..moi?

“Is this the most important meal of the day or of your life? Today you might hear your favorite song for the first time or meet your true love. Here’s to the best day ever. Fuel up.”

When was the last time fast food was this deep? Could we be following the way of the fortune cookie and awakening to a new and deeper philosophy as a society? Moving as a whole toward a unified people that is tired of commercialism, ready to stop worshipping the almighty dollar and ready to feel again?!?!?!

I didn't think so either.

But thanks for the encouraging words, most honorable breakfast sandwich.
