Of course, Bill should be careful not to give Coke any ideas. We might end up with a scenario like the following: Joe: (walking into McDonalds) Hi, i'd like a Big Mac. Cashier: Okay, here's your Big Mac and here's your Coke. That'll be $3.99. J: Uh, i don't want a Coke. C: Sorry, they're bundled. J: What? I'm not paying for a Coke! C: You don't; the Coke is free. J: But wasn't a Big Mac $2.49 last week? C: Sure, but this latest Big Mac is far more innovative. It's got integrated Coke! J: I already bought a Snapple across the street - i'm not going to drink the Coke. C: Then you can't have the burger. J: <sigh> Okay, fine, i'll pay the $3.99 and throw the Coke away. C: Oh, you can't do that. They're seamlessly integrated. Totally inseperable. J: How can that be? They're two totally seperate things! C: No, watch. (takes Big Mac, dunks it in a tank of Coke) See? J: Why did you just do that?!?! C: It's a benefit to the consumer. Otherwise you'd end up with two different, inconsistent tastes. This way you're assured of a continuous taste across all your foods. J: Aaarrgh! - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Adrian Gilbert cc281@freenet.carleton.ca Encourage your co-workers, friends, and family to join "GodsHome JokeList", because everyone needs a little humour in their daily lives.
