Andy - I can't fault you on the mayo issue.

My preference for mayo on the burger came from when I was 8 yrs old,
using the local busing system to get to my cub scout meetings. I had an
hour lay-over down town, and the Big Boys restaurant downtown (1969) had
*excellent* burgers, and their default was mayo. I got hooked on the
default ;-)

I also spent ~ 5 years in Europe, and the default in Germany (FRG at the
time) was mayo on their fries. Personally, I loved the late night
Currywurst mit pom-frit from the local street vendor in Karlsruhe before
I got on the strasse-n-bahn back to the base rather late.

Life has been good to me, and I really should be more thankful for the
good things in life. I should show more appreciation to those that have
contributed to the good things I've had in my life.

And even though you don't wat mayo on your burger, I forgiver you :-)

There is more to life then just the incidentals.
