So I run over to McDonald's tonight after work to pick up a bite to eat. There just happens to be one right across the road from my apartment so it makes it very convenient. So anyway, I'm standing in the lobby at the counter waiting for my food to come up and I notice two boys sitting at a booth near the window.
These boys were between the ages of sixteen to eighteen I'd say, yet they were giggling like little schoolgirls. I take a step closer to eavsedrop a bit and see what's up. After moving a bit closer I can clearly see what they were laughing about -- outside the window standing on a bench right at the window is a seagull. This bird is sitting there, following the french fry through the glass that's in one of these boys' hands like a puppy with a dog treat. Occasionally the gull would attempt to snatch the fry out of the boy's hand only to find the invisable barrier that separated them.
I was thoroughly amused, and a bit dissapointed that I didn't bring my camera. But I was also hungry, so I turned back toward the counter and finished up my order. When I was turning back around, one of the boys is running back into the McDonald's all excited."
"Did you see that?" He asks his friend.
"Yeah, he snatched that up right in the air. He was just like A-Rod. Awesome!" I hid back my chuckle, but only until:
"Sure was. Hey, let's buy him a $1 fry...."
I laughed all the way home.
This is great. I can picture it in my head. Keep writing, you are great.
It is great that people get amused at such small silly little things and it's great to know you'll always be a kid at heart.
i'm calling PETA!!!!!!!!! that is an OUTRAGE! Poor, poor misguided seagull.
Screw you hippies. I'd buy A Rod a dollar fry any day.
Thats great mickey, leave it to you to find that so hilarious you laugh until you get home!
