So maybe some pie juice on the selected pie eating hand is acceptable, getting both hands covered in pie and associated tomato or bbq sauce should be punishable by law. Im relegating my offsider to sausage rolls only until he can mend the error in his ways and im willing to let him step back up to meat pies.
I've often wondered why none of the majors like Maccas has come up with the idea of making a burger option with a bread bun shaped like a hollowed-out bowl with the normal bun top and then filling it with the patties, sauce and other ingredients.

Would be a lot less messy, especially for kids IMO and a great marketing idea.

Pie face tried something similar a few years back with the cheesburger pie. It was horrible. Maybe with a lighter bread outer it could be a lot better.
For some reason that theory reminds me of that thing people make for family functions (cant remember the name) where the cob thing is hollowed out and filled with dip, then when the dips out you tear it apart and eat the bread thats absorbed what ever was inside.

Why is it... that the chance of rain increases proportionally to your decision to leave the umbrella in the car and the distance that your car is parked from any sort of cover?

Why is it that a Democrat President can lie under oath about sexual misconduct during his time in the Oval Office and not be impeached, yet the leftards are baying for the blood of the Republican President for something he may have done in his private life, years before he became a politician?

Why is it that people feel the need to drive in front of trains at unprotected level crossings? They couldnt possibly not see a large green steam engine they do tend to stand out.

Lying about a blow job and lying about mishandling of hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign funds and personal funds through dodgy shell companies via lawyers whilst constantly being caught out lying about knowledge of any of it (including the meetings with Russians) is a little bit different.

The prosecutor actually said - because no one in America really gave a crap about the blowjob

Well, i ask a similar question to myself often enough regarding some peoples existance, and i even question some of my own actions. There is no law to stop it. Governments will let anybody breed. Atleast my kid isnt an entitled self absorbed drain on society. I cant say the same of my ex wife. She is not entitled but deffinately self absorbed and a drain on society.

I think he's convinced he's an untouchable Divine Gift from God ...Either that or the Devil Incarnate .

World's biggest village idiot IMO is what he is . Just wait til Robert Mueller gets him or somebody else . And there'll be plenty the more people he offends as time goes on . Might get some time in clink too . Wouldn't be surprised at all .

Why is it when you go to Subway and order a standard item from the menu, they ask "what do you want on it?"

I dunno why but this gets right up my goat. Why is it that at one of the cafes at one of the places i work put on the lunch board pasta bolognese. The description is standard issue then it says served over a bed of spaghetti. Just write spaghetti bolognese $9. Thats all you have to do. We all know what that is. Its nothing fancy. Had it been on gluten free anything then id read it and be not getting it.
