Yeah, it's not like you see the logos very often. Is there any single
aspect of American culture that is more ubiquitous?

What's wrong with McDonalds anyway? It's hard to beat
their french fries, which is what causes me to go back
from time to time.

(Plus the hope that a liberal will be picketing there
so I can wave something with trans-fat in front of him/her.)

Your aorta, perhaps...

I'm to blame for anything that goes wrong with my aorta,
not McDonalds.


I see. You meant to say you wanted to *waive* something with trans-
fat...


No, I think Calvin wanted to punctuate his motto in life: ignorance is bliss. Which reminds me of a New Fast Automatic Daffodils song:


I Take You to Sleep

Barred by the limitations of his normal use of free time,
he decided to expand his knowledge of subjects and ideas he had up to now been unaware of.
Concious of his ignorance, he headed for a shelf and chose one at random, saying

Chorus:

I'll take you to sleep,
Wrap you in my sheets,
Seep into my dreams,
Show me what it means,
It was the good book, it was clear as mud.

Title written bold in gold on human skin said "ignorance is bliss".
Sat down in front of his television he'd turn the picture up and start where he left off -
until it meant what he thought it did and ignorance was bliss.

[chorus]

Two men with brown patches on their elbows apear on his doorstep demanding money with menaces.
He turned them away saying "ignorance is bliss."

[chorus]

Take your pick.
