Was it Harpoons number??? If so, that's hilarious. I looked up a 'rejection hotline number' for Boston and that's the number they gave me. :lol:

LMAO! Nice score on the number!

I just tossed the "Harpoon" in because IPA came over when I copied and pased the definition I found. Seemed to fit well. :grin:

Well now that we're posting images, here's one of my favorites. It has nothing to do with the topic but I've been dying to post it.

Hyde Park, NY...Hunter on Weekends in the Winter..
So, I forgot my lunch today and figured I'd go to Burger King as I haven't had a greasy burger in a while. I was very much looking forward to having my Whopper, my Way.....hold the pickle, hold the lettuce.

Well, as I sit down to enjoy my coronary inducing bit of heaven, I open the flip up Burger box and my Burger had BOTH Lettuce and Pickle on it!!!!!!! :mad:

I go up to the counter and politely explain that I'm a loyal BK customer because I like how they will prepare my Burger my way and that I was disappointed to find Lettuce and Pickle on my burger. Their response? "Sir, can't you just pick the lettuce and pickle off of it." Sure, I absolutely could, but darn it, you tell your customers that they can have it 'your way', even wrote a freakin' song about it!!!! "Sir, you're being unreasonable, we're sorry for our mistake, but you clearly can remove the pickle and lettuce." I left the burger on the counter and walked out.

I will not be going back and I encourage others to avoid Burger King as well!!

/rant

I dont eat BK anymore. If I do, I will Clear the room...:blink::blink:
