Sometimes I'll be standing at the neighborhood burger joint counter, waiting for my flame
broiled, half-pound cheeseburger, when someone will step up, look over the menu, and
sheepishly order the veggie burger. When this happens, I always say to myself, "you poor
bastard." Now, before you get your hemp shorts all bunched up, let me explain.
This person I'm describing isn’t a vegetarian - if they were, they would have ordered
thegarden burger immediately, and would not have looked so healthy. That they looked at
the menu for a few minutes means, momentarily intoxicated with sirloin vapors, they
thought about ordering a real beef burger. Then, listening to that little voice in their head
(which sounds just like their wife's voice), they come to their senses and order the veggie
burger.
It's my dream that one day, someone will order this amazing mushroom burger, and a
person standing next to them, waiting for their half-pound cheeseburger, will say to
themselves, "you lucky bastard." Enjoy!
