Firebringer News Service (FBNS) - Experts warned today of a new and deadly
threat to our beleaguered civilization: the 100GB Bug.

As most people know, McDonald's restaurant signs show the number of
hamburgers the giant chain has sold.

That number now stands at 99 billion burgers, or 99 Gigaburgers (GB).

Within months or even weeks, that number will roll over to 100GB.

McDonald's signs, however, were designed years ago, when the prospect of
selling one

hundred billion hamburgers seemed unthinkably remote. So the signs have only
two numeric places.

This means that, after the sale of the 100 billionth burger, McDonald's
signs will read "00 Billion Burgers Sold."

This, experts predict, will convince the public that, in over thirty years,
no McDonald's hamburgers have ever in fact been sold,

causing a complete collapse of consumer confidence in McDonald's products.

The ensuing catastrophic drop in sales is seen as almost certain to force
the company into bankruptcy.

This, in turn, will push the teetering American economy over the brink,
which, finally, will complete the total devastation of the

global economy, ending civilization as we know it, and forcing us all to
live on beetles.

"The people who know (the sign-makers) are really scared of 100GB," one
expert said.

"I don't know about you, but I'm digging up a copy of THE FIELD GUIDE TO
NORTH

AMERICAN INSECTS and heading for the hills."

Hmm! I seem to remember back when the sign only said millions.

I believe I was impressed when my local McDs said 5 million sold. Now
all the stores I see just say "billions and billions served" so they
dont have to update the sign anymore.

Anyway, while I like their $1.00 double cheeseburger, I still find the
Burger King $1.00 cheeseburger far superior. McDs does have tho, a
rather expensive grilled chicken ceaser (sp) salad which is very nice.
