The Man Who Ate Everything

06.20.2008 by Chad McIntosh

“I’ll take one of everything”, many customers say to me as they laugh at their own joke. I understand that it’s a joke, but you know, I think a lot of people go through life with a similar attitude. “I’ll try one of everything.”

The problem with this approach is its failure to realize that not everything goes together. The man who eats everything doesn’t consider how some things don’t taste or settle well with others. Before long, he will get a stomach ache and, eventually, throw up. Consequently, the man who eats everything winds up eating nothing.

On the other hand, the man who eats little of what goes together will not only be pleased with his meal, but well nourished as well.

    How very parable-esque of you. You may have just mastered one of the most difficult literary forms. I don’t know weather to shout “We’re not worthy” or loathe you. Just kidding. Well done.

    Cool. We’ll be at the NACC. You’ll have to e-mail me when you’re working and which location and we’ll come out and bug you (and eat good ice cream).
