When my wife and I started dating we would occasionally get together with a group of her friends at a local restaurant. There were usually between 8-12 of us, and we’d have drinks and some people would get an appetizer while others ate. My first time at this get-together I was hungry, and showed up expecting that we’d be having dinner. Everyone is sitting around talking, and I’m trying to follow conversations and be involved, but I was distracted by my hunger. The server came over a few times with drinks, but she had never brought menus. 30 minutes or so passed when the server came back, topping off some water glasses, but there was good conversation going so she didn’t interrupt. I meant to politely ask for a menu, but what came out was more of a bark “Can we get some menus!?”. I was so embarrassed, and I’m sure, 20 years later, some of those friends probably still think of me as an asshole who yells at servers. Anyway, I think what I’m trying to say is, maybe this guy isn’t an asshole, but instead he just got stung by a bee on the tip of his finger and he’s showing the server.

First, another fucking Pennsylvania McDonald’s getting involved where it shouldn’t. I’m done eating at McDonald’s in Pennsylvania now.

But I wonder if this was intentional. Now we all get to hear what he has to say. Hopefully he turns out to be a leader.

The problem is that you have governments like the Taliban in Afghanistan, pre-9/11, destroying ancient statues, trying to erase the history they don’t agree with.

Instead of returning stolen antiquities, countries that are currently in possession of them should be required to send an equivalent value of their own country’s treasure to be displayed in the victim country’s museums.

Imagine having to go to Egypt to see the crown jewels of England.
