I’M NOT gonna be
FRIED this year
Fast food french fries are simply criminal. I love the golden arches, but my rear end cannot handle a box of fries very often. But as for the rest of the taters on the market, there are very few worth eating. They always look and smell better than they are. Do you have a guilty love of fast food? Print out the nutritional facts for your favorite and carry it around with you. Read before you order…puts a crimp in your criminal desires, trust me. This next call is all about mug shots, but they aren’t criminal. Take a look…
