Get your burger's worth

I went to get dinner at the Burger King drive-through last night, and it was totally crazy. First of all, the lady I was ordering from kept calling me "ma'am." Then I said I wanted two plain Tendercrisp Sandwiches, and she asked me "which one" I wanted plain. Okay, I can understand that she might not have understood that I wanted both plain, but what kind of question is that? So they tell me the price is $17.01, and I pull up to the window and give them a coupon (which I totally told them I was using back when I was at the order box), and this kid there says, "Go." When I ask, "Go where?", he tells me to pull around to the front of the building. They do this all the time at that Burger King, for some unknown reason. But usually, they wait until AFTER you've paid. Apparently they thought it would be easier to take my money outside, go back inside to make change, and then return that change to me. Who knows what they were thinking? But anyway, after I pull around, the kid says the price is $17.01, and I tell him that's what it was before the coupon. So he says something about not being able to process the coupon because "there's no room on the screen" (whatever the hell THAT means). So eventually I end up going inside to pay for what was supposed to be a drive-through order.

Thanks to the AOL welcome screen, I know about such fascinating things as Angelina Jolie's pregnancy. Didn't she just adopt some foreign kids, though? I don't like Ms. Jolie, but I think adopting kids is usually a laudable action. And I assume she could adopt other kids if she really wanted to, right? So why bother getting pregnant? I guess that's something I don't entirely understand about many people, not just psycho celebrities. What's so great about having the baby come out of your body, rather than someone else's? It just seems a little odd to me. But then, I don't want kids at all.

My latest conquest in my re-reading of the Chronicles of Narnia was, as you might have guessed, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. ( Spoilers, as usual )
