um, maybe? I don't like food poisoning so I don't go there but from their website it looks like the cheese they use is . . . a fucking slice of american cheese, eww. I don't know that one slice of american cheese would suffice to protect the shell. Also I don't know if the high losers working there could fathom the instructions of "put it at the bottom of the shell" as the corporate pictures show the slice stuck on one side of the shell. My guess is this will not work at Jack.

"Oh, anyway, I'd like a Hard Taco Supreme, but I want the cheese on the bottom."

"Do you mean the Crunchy Taco Supreme™?"

"Yes."

"Why do you need a custom version?"

"There's a bug in construction. The meat, if it touches the shell, weakens it and makes it soggy."

"That's not a bug sir, that's a feature, it allows customers to have both a soft and chewy taco and a hard and crunchy taco at the same time. But if you want a conversion done, there will be a $6 upgrade charge."

"But the taco is only $1.89!"

"Extra work costs extra."

"Well, I'll take five of them, then."

"Okay, with tax that will be $69.34."

"How the hell do you get that?"

"$6 conversion charge per taco."

"Never mind, I'll go someplace else." He leaves.

He walks in the new restaurant, and steps up to the counter. "Welcome to AT&T® Subway®, how may I take your order?"

In all seriousness, I appreciated your post here and I'm glad you're in good spirits and able to give us content like this.

I like how Paul's explanations are written as if the rest of us landed on earth yesterday.

Apparently you have. 1. You seemed to be incapable of undestanding what I wrote; and 2. Every single one of you who responded quoted my entire fucking post instead of cutting it back to the part you're responding to.

This gets goddam annoying that none of you has apparently heard of cuttting back on quoted material. Maybe I should post 50+ page comments so that nobody would ever read your comment because they'd never see it.

The "Microsft Taco Bell" is to satirize what happens when large companies take over, everything costs extra. Call Comcast or Verizon, ask exactly how much the basic package costs in your area, whether it's TV, Phone, or Internet, and they can't tell you. Even though it is easy enough to calculate the local franchise fee, sports fee, sales tax and package price. But they don't want you to know until the bill comes.

The price is never what you expect, because there's always another fee added. And getting a software product with more features means an upgrade to "Premium," "Extra", "Enhanced," "Professional" or "Ultimate," at a much higher price.

The "that's not a bug, it's a feature" comes from when Microsoft Word would crash if you loaded a malformed document. Rather than admit that was a bug, MS tried to claim it was not a bug, but a feature, that the program intentionally quits when reading a badly formed document.
