A recent story in our local
newspaper noted that a woman had stabbed a man because the sandwich he brought
her from a fast food place did not have enough mayo on it.
Talk about “killing the
messenger!”
I have no idea where to
start trying to understand the “why” of that episode. Did he purposely tell
Devin at Burger King to omit the mayo because he did not want the woman to have
it her way? Did this happen all the time? Was this the last straw? Did some
childhood trauma give her a weird and lasting need for mayo as her comfort
food?
As Luther said, “Give a
woman enough mayo and she’ll eat for a day. Don’t put enough mayo on it and
you’ll surely pay.” Well, maybe that wasn’t Luther.
Anyway, on this day, of
all days, if you bring a woman a sandwich, for heaven’s sake, and your own, put
enough mayo on it.

IRRELEVANT OBSERVATION:
Every TV series ends up being a soap opera. They may start out trying to thwart
terrorists, or catch criminals, or extol family life, or get laughs, but as the
producers and writers run out of story lines, they are all about which amnesiac
has whose baby.
