OK, but KFC?

Ordering KFC (or any fast food fried chicken) is like buying a time share. It seems like a good idea at the time, but it's not long before you seriously regret that decision.

Yeah man. I agree with you on this.

There are no nearby Church's Chicken, Popeyes, or even better a Korean fried chicken joint. Besides, the KFC order takers wear neither anti-fascist masks nor the pointy hoods of the White Citizen's Councils. KFC has no stake in seeing the South rise again.

Neither Colonel Sanders nor Colonel Angus had tattoos, but Popeye certainly did. He also mainlined spinach.

The association between KFC and the Nazis was unintended, and I hereby apologize for causing that reasonable misunderstanding.

I always thought it was kind of unfair that Popeye used performance enhancing vegetables.

I suspect you travel a lot closer to their circles than I ever would. Can you do me just this one favor and inquire with them before you leave work tonight. Much appreciated.

Well, KFC does sell something called the Double Down, which coincidentally sounds like their philosophical strategy.

True.

And if you're eating a Double Down, not only do you have no heart, you're trying to kill whatever you suspect you do.

I just can't figure it out!


I believe the hoods are to keep their heads warm and the masks are for health reasons.

I agree, there's a whole lotta cold in a vacuum and nobody wants to catch what ails them folk.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.
