a game of truth or dare
i watched this woman
climb on top of the
driver in front of me
while i was waiting
in line at wendy's
she quickly climbed
off and laughed
i'm guessing it was
a game of truth or
dare and someone
definitely lost
or by judging from
the five bags of
food they ordered
someone is waiting
for the vasectomy
before they have
any more play time

Truth or dare? is a game in which players are given the choice between answering a question truthfully, or performing a "dare." They often have a sexual connotation. One player is asked to choose "truth” or “dare." If “truth” is chosen, the other player must truthfully answer a question, usually an embarrassing one; if “dare” is chosen, then the other player must do something, often embarrassing or dangerous. The game has existed for centuries, with at least one variant, "questions and commands," being attested as early as 1712., but it may ultimately derive from the ancient Greek basilinda described by the 2nd-century grammarian Ioulios Polydeukes (Julius Pollux), “in which we are told a king, elected by lot, commanded his comrades what they should perform."
ReplyDeleteWhen Dave Thomas, an orphan and a high school dropout, was a boy in Kalamazoo, Michigan, he used to eat at a Kewpee restaurant, which sold thick malt shakes and square hamburgers – their corners stuck out beyond the bun so customers could easily see the quality of the meat. Founded in 1923 in Flint, Michigan, it was the 2nd chain of hamburger fast-food restaurants and one of the 1st to institute curbside service, which evolved into drive-in and eventually drive-through service. In the mid-1950s he was the head cook at the Hobby House restaurant owned by the Clauss family in Fort Wayne, Indiana, when Harland Sanders arrived in the city in search of restaurateurs with established businesses in order to try to sell them Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises. Thomas persuaded his reluctant employers to accept the proposal, and they went on to own a number of KFC franchises, sending Thomas to manage 4 of their failing stores in Columbus, Ohio. Thomas worked with Sanders on various projects to make the business more profitable and to give it brand recognition, suggesting that the number of items on the menu be reduced in order to focus on a signature dish, and that Sanders personally appear in commercials. In 1968 he sold his share in the 4 Columbus restaurants for $1.5 million, and the following year he opened Wendy's in Columbus, known for its square hamburgers, sea salt fries, and a soft serve ice cream mixed with frozen starches. He named the restaurant after his 8-year-old daughter Melinda Lou, nicknamed "Wenda" due to her youthful inability to say her own name. From 1989 to 2002 he appeared in more than 800 commercials for the chain, more than any other company founder. With more than 6,500 locations, it is the world's 3rd largest hamburger chain, behind Burger King and McDonald's.
