They say the one thing you can't buy is taste.
Especially at McDonald's.
Never ask Google for medical advice I have gone from mild headache to clinically dead in three clicks...
Some years ago, a Russian oil baron who had six children, all girls, began to despair as he had no son and heir.
Imagine his joy when one of his wives finally presented him with a son.
Just before his son's sixth birthday, the baron took him to one side and said, "Son, I am very proud of you. Anything you want, I shall get for you."
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own airline." So his father bought him United Airlines.
The next year, the baron asked the same question.
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat." His father bought him The Princess Cruise Lines.
The next year, his son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch cartoons."
Not wanting to look a cheapskate, his father bought him Disney Studios.
His son, who was by now really into the Disney cartoons, asked, "Daddy, I would also like a Mickey Mouse outfit."
His father bought him the New York Yankees (put your own in!)
President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton are attending a banquet in Buckingham Palace.
"Look, Hillary," says Obama, "this gold cutlery is really cool. Your husband would love that as a souvenir."
"Nice idea," says Clinton, "but I wouldn't dare."
"It's easy," says Obama, furtively slipping the cutlery into the inside pocket of his dinner jacket. "Michelle's gonna love this."
Clinton picks up her cutlery and is just about to slip it into her jacket pocket when she accidentally strikes her crystal wine glass. All the guests look at her and she has no choice but to make a little speech, saying she hopes all the guests enjoy the banquet.
"Shit!" she whispers to Obama, "but I'll try it again when the dessert comes."
During dessert, Clinton wipes her cutlery and wants to hide it in her jacket pocket but once again she inadvertently strikes her wine glass.
"Shhh ...!"
All the guests look at her again. Ah, the Secretary of State wants to make a speech. Clinton clears her throat and stands up:
"Your Majesty," she says, "Lords and Ladies. As a little entertainment for those in attendance, I would like to perform a magic trick. I will place my cutlery in my jacket pocket and magically transfer it into President Obama's."
