Employee at Counter: May I help you?

Customer: Hi, um, what's your cheeseburger combo meal come with?

Employee at Counter: Bloated feeling, regret, remorse, a bigger waist, loss of self-esteem, loss of boyfriend, shame, years of therapy, fries, and a shake.

Customer: Can I get that without the loss of self-esteem?
