	No, no.  Get revenge.  Do it right.  Order for your {baseball team|
    football team|dance group|et cetera}.  Memorize it.  Rehearse it.  Go into
    the Golden Arches Supper Club.  You say:
	"Hi, I'd like a (insert foul substance here)."
    The poor counter person will, of course, enquire:
	"Would you like any fries with that?" or "Would you like something to
	    drink with that?"
    You go into action.  You scratch your head, mutter a bit, and say something
    like:
	"Ummm....yeah.  A large fries.  No, no, make it two.  And a couple of
	large shakes.  And....and....four Quarter Pounders.  And three Chicken
	McNuggets with barbecue sauce....and......and....seven BigMucks....and
	three more large fries.....and...."
    ....and you get the idea.  Yes, this is nasty, and somewhat humiliating
    for the unfortunate employee you pick on.  It IS good for a laugh, though,
    and it DOES get your point across.  You'll have to decide for yourself
    if revenge is sweet (although at MD's, the only really sweet thing is the
    salt :-).
	To all those forced by circumstances to work at such places:  My
    apologies.  Not for the impractical joke, but for being forced by
    circumstances to work at such places.  Try to have a sense of humor
    about it, anyway.
