They say that England and America are two countries separated by a common language. Apparently that\u2019s true because they don\u2019t understand the old adage that size doesn\u2019t matter. Kentucky Fried Chicken has had a commercial banned in Britain because government officials say the ad misled people about the size of a chicken sandwich.
\n\u201cWe noted that the bun shown in the advertisement was significantly thicker than the burgers we purchased; that there was more filling and the lettuce was a different type,\u201d officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n
KFC tried to maintain that the woman in the ad merely had small hands, making the sandwich look bigger than it actually is. I don\u2019t know what all the hubbub is about.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re getting a sandwich for a pound or a buck, you should know that it\u2019s not going to be big. KFC tried to use that excuse, but that didn\u2019t fly. I guess common sense has gone out the window there too, so we have that in common.<\/p>\n
You shouldn\u2019t eat at fast food places anyway. Not with the windfall waiting for you at your local Chinese restaurant.<\/p>\n
A recent Powerball jackpot had a record number of winners at its highest levels and many of the winners said they got their winning numbers from a fortune cookie. That\u2019s taking \u201cancient Chinese secret\u201d to another level.<\/p>\n
But that secret sure beats the one a family in Louisiana discovered recently. The used car they bought in 1997 had some engine troubles, so they took it to a mechanic. He didn\u2019t need long to discover the problem.<\/p>\n
The $40,000 worth of cocaine taped to the gas line has started to seep into the fuel supply. Apparently that\u2019s not a good thing for a vehicle.<\/p>\n
Police determined that the family had nothing to do with the drugs and will try and find the previous owner to see if they know anything about the stash.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a good kind of thing for the police to look into. I wish police in Edinburgh, Ind., had those kinds of cases. That might keep them from going after Michelangelo.<\/p>\n
A business in the two has been told to move copies of the famous statue of David out of public view because \u201cthey have nudity.\u201d David\u2019s lack of pants seems to offend some sensibilities.<\/p>\n
The obscenity statue in Indiana allows exceptions for works with artistic value, but one of the world\u2019s most famous statues doesn\u2019t meet that test. I should expect as much from a state with the World\u2019s Largest Stump. And I\u2019m not referring to Dan Quayle.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m disappointed that the owner of the business didn\u2019t put up too much of a fight. He should have taken a page out of the book used by an Idaho \u201cgentleman\u2019s\u201d club.<\/p>\n
Apparently, Idaho and Indiana have similar public nudity statues. The owner of Erotic City in Boise figured if his \u201centertainers\u201d were considered art, he could get around the law.<\/p>\n
So he gave everyone a sketch pad and pencil when they entered the club. That worked for a little while, but the police eventually determined that there was too much watching and not enough drawing.<\/p>\n
Art can\u2019t catch a break anywhere. That\u2019s probably true in England too, but I wouldn\u2019t look to them for guidance on good taste.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t appreciate a good chicken sandwich.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
