I think almost everyone here knows what the above title alludes to. We've all done it. You walk into a store minding you're own business looking for a specific item or combination of items. It could be anything really: A pair of scissors and tape, Gum and a lightbulb, a bowl for blood sacrifices and a tiny athamé, whatever. You come to the check out with your little odds and ends and then BAM! Your price comes out to $6.66.
I bet you didn't realize you were doing the devil's work by completing your purchase all at once. But sadly, you realize almost your entire day must have been guided by his tiny pointed fingers.
This morning at my local McDonald's, I fell victim to the devil's nefarious scheme. Admittedly, I pretty much knew that the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit with added bacon along with that McGriddle were evil to begin with. But I didn't realize they were that evil.
That didn't stop me from buying it, naturally. I figured at that point I needed to accept it and eat all of it as a penance. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but if I didn't eat those two items, then some poor soul somewhere else might have eaten them. I couldn't have that on my conscience.
And, while I savored every sinful bite of that most McGriddle and that biscuit, I know that someday I may have to answer for that purchase, maybe not at the pearly gates, but someday soon, in a bathroom somewhere. And you can rest assured that I will repent that order, and will have long forgotten how sweet and savory that hell inspired meal was.
