Hey professor! what's the next class ?

You can get Mickey D's in quite a few places. When Willy Dunne Wooters was in England during the '60s, he ate at a McDonald's. He ordered a hamburger but has never been sure what he actually received.
Love,

Janie, there was a good chance it was horse meat. Though McD swears all their burgers are mostly beef.
That was pretty interesting!
Just a worldly dude, you are.
Very interesting. I have wondered why McDonald's has had commercials during the Olympics yet not during the Super Bowl game.
LOL, you put them ALL up! Thanks!
So, what you're saying is that we should have a McDonald's nearby....Right?
Hey, I'm hungry and got distracted.
Mandy, I though so, too.
MF, I have been around a few times.
Jill, I guess they are not going for the rough and tough football crowd.
LJ, Micky D's is all over the world, but I'll take my WH in the South over all of them.
Very enlightening!!
