I Thought it Was Just a Saying!

Picture it. You're sitting in a restaurant looking over the menu. As you scan through the various items, you notice the place is selling a burger for $175. You kind of do a double-take, thinking to yourself, "That can't be right." You look again and see that it really does say $175. You say aloud: "What does it come with gold or something?"

Um, yes, it does. The Wall Street Burger Shoppe sells a $175 burger that includes flakes of real gold. For what possible reason would you eat a hamburger that contained flakes of gold? I mean, if you have that much d@mn money to throw around, can you not think of something more worthwhile? Eating gold? Forget what it might taste like or what it could do to your digestive system (Doh!). It's just stupid. I'm thinking about opening up a more blue-collar type of place next to it where you can get a $3 burger stuffed with nickels. It might not go down as easy, but it'll cost you a lot less.
