Fast Food Charity

November 21, 2012
By Anonymous

The novice chef hurled the hamburger patty
It was clocked at 101 km/h
The master chef was not amused
Quit fooling around, said he, and that patty’s docked from your paycheck!
So the novice chef picked the patty up
Dusted it off
Put in on a bun
Dressed it up; pickles, onions, ketchup, the works
Then went outside and fed the homeless
Because one man’s dusty burger is another man’s feast

It came to me after many visits to a local Wendy's that people often leave whole boxes of fries untouched, or don't even finish half of their burgers after they eat, whilst there are numerous homeless people literally right outside the building (it is Vancouver after all) who could use it much more than us, privileged folk.
