Hamburgers Are Mouth Abuse

-

McD. loves this presidential election. All that free advertising because of Kamala Harris. Donald Trump is also a contributing factor because he keeps refuting that she ever worked there. Free advertising galore.

It is painful, but the mouth cannot complain. I must open wide and stretch its limits to force the hamburger in. I’m compassionate to my mouth though. The hamburger is a treat, something I miss like this summer. I must eat one before it is over. It is not beneficial to my body and it is not even delicious. That is why hamburgers have bridesmaids, American fries called French fries.

Hamburgers are mouth abuse because nature, in its wisdom made different parts of the body, which are in sync with each other. The mouth is guarded by lips. Nature makes me hungry and the mouth indulges me. It opens so that I can put something inside, but a big mac hamburger? A hamburger is a problem to the mouth. How much more a big mac?

I’m taking this the wrong way. I’m thinking of hamburgers as food. It is not. It is a state of development. It denotes plenty, like the new kid in school who has never eaten a hamburger because he grew up poor, in some country that doesn’t exist on Google. Hamburgers are mouth abuse because they affect other parts of the body, that rely on the entrance. The mouth is the entrance therefore, if it was forced entry, the hamburger’s journey through all parts of the body will be rough. That’s why I don’t believe there are parents that take kids to the hamburger joint every day because they don’t want to cook.

Nature is very stupid for the division of labour. Mouth, you do this, lungs this is your job, kidneys this is your responsibility. Blood, you do the deliveries. Any abuse of body parts leads to wonderful buildings called hospitals, where we do not see the sun and cannot sleep because of the patient behind the curtain who cries all night and there’s no pill to end his distress.  Development is good I guess because you are reading this, but body parts? Don’t stretch them beyond their limits. Stupid nature  works. That’s why I enjoy YouTube videos where people live a ‘primitive’ life because they don’t have tall buildings called hospitals.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
