    Duh, indeed. Plenty enough to go around. And what’s this about the menu on the back of the drive-thru sign? So convenient and very smart.

    I’m pretty sure this one is a rerun.

    Purple… it is a rerun, cos I remember the punchline…but it made me laugh again.

    That drive-through menu requires a stop-and-walk-through….

    but actually, more and more real life places are putting another copy of the menu at the beginning, BEFORE the one where you order.

    That way the fights with Mom and Dad over milkshakes and toys, the 15 minute menu search for Cheezy Onion-O’s, and the dithering about upsizing can be partially over before hanging everyone else up at the microphone.

    Of course, people like the Pennys probably take forever to read it in both places, just in case the Wonderburger Bacon Triple is 2¢ more on one than another.

    In my (limited) experience the drive through takes longer and you don’t know you’ve been screwed until you drive away. I’m channeling Joe Pesci here. Lethal Weapon 2.

    Well at ;least we know TIMMY is still 11…..Why go in..? ? He’s probably programmed to pick up handfuls of condiments, napkins and flatware… It’s the same reason BURL and JOY are going in….. DUH….

    That is really nice they can save a few steps, I would hate to see them move to much and dislodge some of that cholesterol that is coating their arteries. It also save Timmy the embarrassment of being seen with them.

    So is ordering to much pressure for Dale, that is why Timmy is going in. Dummy, you know Timmy can order through the back window.

    @GymShoe, I thought Burl and Joy just happened to be passing by (but now that you mention that).

    Parents who teach their kids things with bad behavior (especially criminal) are the worst. Two years ago, my daughter “bought” a lap-top for (then 9YO) grandson to play video games while staying here, only to return it before they left. My parents or I would never do any such. The sister of my friend in Chicago was the worst – teaching her kids to switch price tags and do other shoplifting practices (another thing we had in common – a sibling sociopath!)

    This might be a glimmer of genius within the head of Dale: he may be aware that Timmy, without the adults shadowing him, can place the order inside the store better than Dale could do it talking back to a speaker box from his driver’s seat!! There’s hope for these people!!
