Ooo, I got a toy! No, I got a pedometer.

Every time I hear one of those moronic commercials for the McDonald's "adult happy meal," I'm torn between two distinct and equally derisive reactions: 1) why would anyone go to McDonald's if they really wanted a salad and a bottle of water? and 2) anything for which the qualifier "adult" is necessary cannot be a good thing. Makes me think of "adult diapers" and such like that.

And, as I pointed out to my son, (who was jiggling my upper arm at the time, and suggesting that I might want to go on a diet that consisted of nothing but McDonald's food, mainly the salads), how many frickin' pedometers does a person really need, anyway. We did get one "Adult Happy Meal" each. I got both salads, he got the blue pedometer (leaving me with the orange one, hmpf!). So what's next - sweatbands? Sample sizes of denture adhesive and Ensure?

I think something called an "adult happy meal" ought to include sex toys, but maybe that's just me.

D'OH! Beat me to it. Although I was specifically thinking free porn.

But sex toys are probably better.

Or "sex toy surprise."

One would think they'd be cheap sex toys that would break right away, though. Maybe porn is a better idea. :-)

I know. Kind of like the sex toys you get out of vending machines.

That would certainly be more interesting. You should bring it up to the McDonald's people. I'd have to at least try one then.

(Besides liking your suggestion, I like your icon, by the way.)

Thanks, I definitely need more icons *grin*

Actually, come to think about it, sex toys would probably encourage more calorie burning than a pedometre.

I beg to differ. Adult diapers are a damn good thing, considering the alternative of "damp, stinky adults".

Unfortunately, one is still rather damp and stinky. The absorbent bits have a tendency to get overwhelmed rather easily.

I was just going to say that. :-) (And yes, I know whereof I speak. My old job was working at a group home for disabled adults.)
