Is there a fish of the land?

Is there a fish of the land?

After lunch yesterday my friend randomly exclaimed, “I’m going to Hell.” Now there were a lot of retorts that I could have used, but taken aback by the randomness I asked “Why now?”  She had a burger. Yup, she is going to Hell because she ate meat during Lent. Isn’t she right up there with Manson and Madoff (now there’s a law firm)? 

Then, me being a cafeteria Catholic, I thought….well I ate chicken, chicken’s OK right?  Since chicken isn’t berated half as badly as beef during Lent, we determined I was just going to be stuck somewhere in Purgatory for a while and then head Upstairs. But here’s what I’m thinking, fish is white and yummy and it’s OK…why not chicken?  If I may quote a genius of our time…Jessica Simpson…she asked the heavy question of Chicken of the Sea tuna…is it chicken or fish?

If they are so similar that a sage  smart person person would be confused, then I think I’m OK if I am confused as well.  So my theory is…If tuna is a chicken of the sea then why can’t chicken be fish of the land?

A NOT so happy meal

A NOT so happy meal

By now I am sure you have heard from your best friend or random watercooler chit chat, about the nutjob aka Latreasa Goodman who called 911 when she found out McDonald’s was out of chicken McNuggets. I understand that everyone has their vice and when they don’t get a fix, bad things happen and that everyone has their own ratings of badness.  Personally though, and this might just be me, but I think that bank robbery, murder, and even arson outrank a shortage of nuggets on the badness scale.  But like I said, that’s just me.

To be fair, I tried my best to put myself in her position.  What would I do if I ordered a 10 piece and got a whole lot of nothing in return.  Would I be annoyed…yes.  Peeved….yes. But would I call 911…not so much.  I like pressed chicken formed into odd shapes and breaded as much as the next girl, but jeez lady, order a chicken sandwich and rip it into chunks and there ya go..instant nuggets!

Also, I think you might agree with me when I say, I tend to support that McD’s has an “all sales final” policy.  After all I would hate to imagine what a “gently used-pre owned” Big Mac would look like!
