You can't do nice things for people!

So I'm pulling out of the Wendy's with a big bag of burgers and I see this guy sitting at the bus stop, and I figure hey, I bet this guy could use a burger. So I grab a burger and toss it to him out the window, but, I guess he didn't see it coming (nobody expects a free burger!) so I yell, "Hey, bro!"

So he turns around and right at that moment the incoming burger hits him right in the face. Now, by this time I've pulled out and I'm on my way down the road, but, get this: I look in my rearview mirror and the guy is yelling at me! He's all mad. And I'm like "Hey, I just gave you a free burger!"



Please note: this is not a true story.

He never said which bit wasn't true.

Truth be told, the Flintsville police are now investigating their third headless hobo in what the press are calling the spinning pizza killings.

Dude, I wait at bus stops and I'd be pissed off too if you threw a damn Wendy's burger at my face.



Now, if it was from Burger King.....

This is what is fundamentally wrong with Flint's attitude toward life. You can't just chuck a burger at some poor, unsuspecting sap. You have to isolate and study him before you can understand the type of burger that will best assist him on his lonely, but essentially vital, road to self-discovery.

Flint. Chucking random burgers! As if!

PS - also, his story reads like a Jack Handey blurb.
