You say it best when you say nothing at all

Driving to a meeting today, I drove past a Taco Bell. The sign by the street contained this boastful proclamation:

AWARDED CLEANEST
TACO BELL

Upon reading the sign, I nearly wrecked my car from all the laughing.

You know, it's possible to say something without actually imparting any information. This blog is perhaps the most grand example of that.

But honestly, does "cleanest Taco Bell" tell you anything about how clean or not clean that particular Taco Bell is?

Not so much.

That would be like seeing a commercial promoting "The Least Irritating Episode of The Apprentice." Or reading about Lindsey Lohan's "soberest night ever."

Besides, how big an issue is cleanliness to you when you're scanning the boulevard for a place to get a freakishly cheap sackful of taco-y goodness?

Okay, I enjoyed this post except now I have a hankering for some Taco Bell.

Ew!

Taco Bell can easily be shortened to TB. Coincidence? Uh, no.

And why do they have drive-throughs? So you don't have to actually SEE where your food begins.

Now where is that grilled steak burrito I left laying in the living room?

Our Taco Bell is a bit scary. Glad to know it's not just because we're in a small town.

My general rule of thumb any time I eat a "sackful of taco-y goodness" is to not look closely at the meat.

Could you please tell your wife how much I miss her blogging? Because I do.

Is "clean Taco Bell" an oxymoron?
