-Honey, I’m home.
-Late again, as usual.
-Sorry, dear...we had a late drive-through rush.
-Yeah, yeah.
-The fry-machine broke, too.
-You used that one last week.
-But…
-Forget it, George, you’re a liar.
-I’m not lying. I’m just dedicated to my job.
-More like married. Married to damned McDonald’s! I feel like a wife who’s constantly cheated on!
-That’s crazy.
-Oh yeah? What about the time I caught you eating Big Macs in the bathroom after telling me you didn’t want to have sex because your stomach hurt?
-I was hungry.
-Uh-huh…how about when I caught you calling the McDonald’s hotline while I was sleeping? I didn’t even know there was a McDonald’s hotline!
-It’s for corporate and customer service questions.
-So you needed to call it at 3am?
-…
-What about the time you spent our vacation money on a fry machine? I know you stole cooking oil and raw fries from your own store, too!
-I paid for those things.
-No, you didn’t. You stole from your little w***e, McDonald’s, Inc.
-Don’t talk about her that way!
-You’re pathetic! We’re done, George.(hastily gathers clothes and shoves them in a suitcase.)
-(Hands her a bag of Kid’s Meal toys)
-Are those stolen, too?
-No, I…
-Bye, George (wife leaves slamming the front door)
-Oh God…what have I done? My wife has left me! I’m gonna need two McRibs and an extra-large Coke to get through this night.
