People Know Your Age Thanks to Would You Like Fries with That? Question

By Brian White at 05/24/07 17:09

Remember the old joke you used to blast one another for getting degrees in less-than-useful fields like sociology or philosophy, the one where you'd cap it off with "Would you like fries with that?" It was funny because it implied your friend would be flipping burgers until long after the degree was paid off. It doesn't work any more, it just makes you seem old.

You may not realize it, but nobody has asked you if you wanted fries with the ubiquitous "that" in the last fifteen or twenty years.

Value combos have killed the joke, and nobody sent me a memo. It could have been updated to "Would you like that super-sized?", but people from that era don't find the humor intrinsic to the insult.

So if you don't want to feel over 30 (or over 40, for that matter,) pick a new joke, the time came and went and you weren't even aware of it yet… now you are.
