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."
