Humor: Waiting in line

So they say that the United States is the melting pot of the world with all of the different cultures in it. That makes me wonder, is McDonald's the center of that pot?

I went to McDonald's yesterday and to my eyes I saw some guy who just looked like he came out of the woods. I think he was a farmer, with his overalls, weird hat thing, and caked mud on his boots. Then as I was waiting in line some 14 year old(something like that I've always been really bad at guessing peoples ages) walks in football pads full out, except the helmet. The shoulder pads, pants, and all the leg pads and cleats. It was pretty weird. Then I look around and see a 15 year old girl (once again, I'm ball parking her age) dressed (if you can say dressed) like a whore, barely anything on. Being a guy, I'm probably supposed to like that but she was a a little big to be wearing all that.

I was in McDonald's for about 10 minutes and I saw three strange characters. Some day, I'm gonna go in there and order a soda or a mcflurry and just sit and watch all the strangers go by, watch all the unique people walk around in their outfits. Why would I do this? Who knows, it could be a legit (I like the word legit by the way, its pretty catchy) way to boost my day, to give me a spark in my life. Should be fun.....
