Lots and lots of lies.
You know those betty crocker "Meals in a box" thingies?
Right on the back it says "Everything you will need for a complete meal from Betty Crocker!"
You know what it says right under that? "You will need: .."
Granted, it's some foil and some water, but YOU JUST SAID I HAD EVERYTHING I NEEDED.
Or what about commercials?
Just saw one. "We have SOOOOO many CDs, like, omg. So we'll SEND YOU THEM OMG FREE FREE! JUST PAY.."
You just said free. Why do I have to pay?
Lies.
Lies.
LIES!

So I was in the airplane the other day, flying home and I'm reading the SkyMall magazine. I see this money sorter and the picture is sorting $100 bills and in big white letters it says: "MONEY NOT INCLUDED." I mean wtf, what kind of a moron would think that they can get hundreds of dollars by buying a $50 machine.
Probably the hillbillies that live next to Waz.

If slavery was legal, they'd need to include, "Supermodel Not Included," warnings. Some do that anyway, usually for humor.

What's that quote?
"Only two things are infinite. The universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the former."
I just wanna know why they have in big, bold, italic letters they have "EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED", then, directly under that, "You will need:".

It means food wise, No need to add some sort of meat or veggie to it. If you honestly didn't know that, please do not breed.

It should be a 1/4 pound prior to cooking.

God damn metric system.

Bill was listening to Cher while typing:
Why don't they call a double quarter pounder a half pounder?
omg it's two 1/4 pound patties before cooking not 1 1/2 pound patty.
quote:
Bill obviously shouldn't have said:
Why don't they call a double quarter pounder a half pounder?
Because the quarter pounder part is in reference to the weight of the meat. And a double quarter pounder is just two quarter pounder patties, not one half pound patty.
BOOYAH!
Lay off the meals in a box...

If it were called a "Sandwich with a Quarter Pounder" instead of just a "Quarter Pounder" you'd have a point.
